I signed up for a Medigap "F" policy in January of this year to begin February 1 when I started on Medicare. In June I got a letter saying that my premium would go up, starting with the July payment of the August premium.
Now this seems odd because we cannot change plans until the open enrollment period at the end of the year. If they can raise rates anytime during the year how can we decide which plan to choose?
Is it normal - usual - common for a plan to raise its premiums during the year? This is Blue Shield of California -- what other plans do you know of that change rates during the calendar yer?
