By law, Medicare Supplement insurance is standardized into twelve plans (Plans A through L). That means Plan F from one company must include the same benefits as plan F from another company. While the benefits must be the same, each company’s rates, reputation, membership features and quality of service can vary. With Mutual of Omaha, you don’t have to sacrifice comprehensive benefits or freedom-of-choice for affordability. Their Medicare Supplement plans provide substantial benefits at rates that can save you money over other plans.
Medicare Supplement
Plan G
By far the most popular Medicare Supplement plan. The only difference between plan F and Plan G is; Plan G does not pay for the Part B annual deductible of $240. Part B coinsurance of 20% after the deductible is payed in full, and the Part A Benefit Period deductible of $1,632 and coinsurance is covered. Keep in mind, when comparing Plans F and G, if the monthly premium savings is more than $240 per year for plan G, it’s a better value.
Medicare Supplement
Plan N
A lesser known plan that has great value, plan N provides a unique mix of comprehensive benefits coupled with an excellent monthly premium. Plan N is a little different than F and G in that Plan N does not cover the Medicare Part B deductible, or the Part B Excess Charges.
