Where we live my wife's Plan N is over $50 a month less than my sister's Plan G. My sister is one year younger than my wife. My wife had to have open-heart surgery to replace her aortic valve. She had about a dozen doctor visits, echocardiogram, heart catheterization, rehab, and hospital stay. Our out-of-pocket was less than $300, and part of that was the Part B deductible.
I do hope she is doing well! I am so glad that you had a good plan in place to help with those major out of pocket expenses. We wish you and your wife well!
In my zip code, a plan G for a 65 year old man runs $260 a month. I got a plan N for $141 per month and I’m happy with it though a lot of doctors offices don’t know how to handle Medicare patients.
Sounds like you are pretty well informed then! To many looking for information, the benefits and competitive prices are certainly a surprise! Thanks for your comment.
Not entirely. Some states/carriers do offer Medigap to those who qualify for Medicare and are under 65. If you'd like, you can give us a call and we can check what is available in your area: 888-410-0344. Thanks for your question!
@@iHealthBrokers I think he's suggesting that a person should choose at least Plan N, and avoid getting talked into a Medicare Advantage ("disadvantage") plan, where a person is at the mercy of an insurance company (for approvals, etc.).
@@rc4211 I think you are correct! In that case, I am inclined to agree. Now of course, there are cases where Medicare Advantage Plans can work well for you. However, with the steady decline of networks and benefits (and increased issues of preauthorization) Medigap plans are still a FAR safer option. Thanks for your comment and feedback!

What are the things we're not told about plan N? I didn't hear any surprises in the video.
