I talked to BB about MediCare supplement plans recently. I am wondering about any feedback you all might have.
Basically the agent suggested plan N over G. Stating that overcharges were unusual & avoidable in most cases. Also, that rate increases for N would probably be less than for Plan G.
He also tried to reassure me that the difference’s in customer service between companies were very low and that price should be the determining factor. I was concerned with customer service of companies I’d never heard of. He was not.
To sum up, he basically said “the lowest priced Plan N is where he would advise me to go.” I was thinking of AARP/UHC or BCBSKS originally. Prior good experience with BCBSKS and community pricing for AARP.
The rates seemed low enough that the community pricing advantage would take a long time to materialize.
The agent seemed very forthcoming in the fact that they only represented certain companies not all.
Anything else I should take into consideration?
Thanks
