I'm in my initial medicare signup period. Will get Plans A, B, D, & Medigap Plan G coverage. In my county, there are 17 companies offering Plan G medigap policies. They all also only offer Community Pricing for their plans.
From what I've researched, all Medigap insurance companies HAVE to pay the Plan B 20% that Medicare doesn't cover (after paying the $226 deductible). Doesn't seem possible Medigap insurance company would refuse to pay the 20% if Medicare has paid for the 80%.
Given that, the only other considerations for selecting a Medigap policy is monthly cost, history of past year's cost increases, and if they offer other tangible benefits (like AARP/UnitedHeath offering gym dues, discounted dental, $50 annual eye exams). Is that a correct assumption? TIA.
