    So, you have found the right Medicare supplement plan, but which insurance company should you go with? How do you research Medicare supplement insurance companies? Which is the best Medicare supplement insurance company in your area?
    Of all the decisions that must be made when starting Medicare, choosing the wrong insurance company will have the greatest negative impact on your lifetime Medicare costs. More so than which Medicare supplement plan you choose.
    In fact, choosing the wrong Medicare supplement insurance company can result in your paying more than twice the premium over your lifetime than you would pay for the exact same benefits with the right company.
    How do you research a Medicare supplement insurance company?
    When I decided to make a video on researching an insurance company the first thing became apparent was that there is simply too much information to share for one video. That is why this is number two in a three-part series. The first video goes over the number one most common mistake I see people make. It’s a mistake that almost always results in a bad decision, which is why there is an entire video on the subject.
    The second thing I realized is that no matter how often I try to steer people toward the right way to research an insurance company, unless I go over what not to do, they always revert to tangents that are not relevant to a Medicare supplement insurance company.
    Can you imagine spending days if not weeks on your research only to find out what you are researching isn’t relevant to your Medicare? I want to help you avoid that mistake.
    That is why this video is going to focus on what not to do, and why. Where have others gone wrong in their research that corners themselves into a bad decision. Once you know what not to do and why, learning where to focus your energy will be a breeze.
    I must stress my strong disagreement with some of my competitors and friends on UA-cam that trigger your emotions so that you fear price increases. There are videos that show outrageous price increases on certain plans. What is not said or shown is that they are using price increases from small, second or third tier insurance companies. Companies that I avoid and would never recommend to a client. They are scary price increases for sure but are not representative of industry averages or norms.
    Your Medicare decisions should be based on logic, not emotion. On Knowledge, not fear. And on the truth, not deception. Do not let anyone scare you out of a supplement plan that may be right for you.
    The simple truth is that price increases over time are influenced more by the insurance company you choose to manage your Medicare supplement plan, than by the supplement plan itself.
    The answer is simply that in general, you should expect that the more benefits a plan offers, the higher the average annual price increases over time. For example, a Medicare supplement Plan F should increase in price at a faster rate than Medicare supplement Plan G, which in turn should increase at a rate faster than Medicare supplement Plan N and so on.

      Having all that knowledge now I was hoping you could answer these questions for me?
      (1) Have you decided which path you should take?
      (A) Staying with Original
      Medicare and supplementing
      with a Medigap plan.
      (B) Selecting a Medicare
      Advantage plan. Do you
      know what your Maximum
      Outofpocket would be for
      this plan for both in and
      out-of Network services?
      (2) After deciding, do you know how hard or easy it would be to change your mind later?
      (3) If you have any health issues that could be considered “pre-existing conditions”, what, if any, impact would that make on your decision?

    Appreciated your description of the 3 pricing criteria. Depending on the state as well as what the insurer chooses can dictate the expense of your supplement. I also appreciated you pointing out that the benefits are standardized by Medicare and if the Insurer offers other benefits they can drop them & you continue to pay for premium benefits. Most of all your delivery of the facts in a clear & concise manner is understandable & comforting. Thank you

      Based on your new knowledge, do you think you made the right decisions along the way? If not? Do you know if you still have options for improvement?
      Last year, at age 74, I discovered the High Deductible Plan G, which I thought was better for me than holding on to my employer’s MA plan. Fortunately, seniors can decide to leave employer MA plans with no penalties even with a pre-existing condition. So I switched and am very happy with my new plan. Universal coverage. No networks. No referrals. No bills after meeting the deductible.

  • @CathyTheMichiganGirl
    @CathyTheMichiganGirl Рік тому +3

    In my research, I thought I understood Community Rated. Imagine my surprise to see a company in my state (IL) offering Community Rated Medigap plans. I was further confused when looking at their rate tables and seeing different rates depending on age, gender, and tobacco status. And their rates increase by age group due to gradual decreases in their “enrollment discount”. So I know of at least one company you’re referring to that uses this deceptive practice (and they’re recommended by AARP, no less). You’re the only one I’ve seen so far who has bothered to point out the deception. All other available plans here are Attained Age based. Thank you so much!

      ​@@MedigapSeminars I'm about to turn 65 and I have found your videos very enlightening. As such I was quite interested in seeing the third video in this series. I'm sure you are working on it, but in the meantime I was hoping that you could at least give me some direction to facilitate my research. I'm assuming that the most important "What to Consider..." criteria largely have to do with various measures of how "solid" (# years in business, # of policies issued, etc.) a company is & the demonstrated stability of their pricing. Is that reasonably accurate? Are there any other major criteria that belong at or near the top of the list? And is there an efficient way (ex., a specialized website or industry standard/rating system) to research/compare such parameters? Thanks!!!

      @MedigapSeminars  2 роки тому +3

      That is correct in all states except those that mandate true Community rated Plans or Issue Age Plans. But by structuring their plans as they do, that 3% annual increase in price is not considered a price increase when comparing stats.

    It seemed I missed something, you showed a Plan G and a Plan N side by side and then to compared the low end price of Plan G with the high end of Plan N. In my mind you where attempting to compare apples and oranges. Plan G is higher than PLan N whether you look at the low end of pricing or high end. As I see it comes down to which plan best fits your needs. My only question is does each insurance company have any sort of rating? Is that rating tied to the price?

    • @MedigapSeminars
      @MedigapSeminars  3 роки тому +5

      there are no ratings because the benefits are all the same and Medicare makes all decisions. What you missed is that a person in the wrong company can spend more on a Plan N that they would spend on a Plan G with the right company. Choosing the right insurance company is more important to your lifetime cost.

Your videos are great and I appreciate your passion for getting out the information to those of us that need it desperately. I am still in the 6-month window where I can make a choice between advantage and supplement without medical underwriting. I was going you plan on advantage, obviously the cost and the benefits being much better initially. Yet I am a long-term smoker and feel like if I don't jump on the Supplement Plan at this time it would be very expensive or not even possible after my 6 months window. So appreciate all your videos. I love your passion and your transparency and when you feel like it's BS you call it. Bless you.

    You have a competitor that is very good but I think he uses a little fear tactic. And I want to say thank you for that. I guess I have to watch a little more but I am on a Advantage plan with Medicaid on the bottom part. I've been that way since I'm on disability that I turn 65 next year. I see the big difference now. How how hard would it be to change. And time I paid basically 170 and say 120 a month and 30 a month for the rest of the stuff that's about $500 a month but not much left. But I see the advantage of doing it with the G plan

      Great question! We work with all the major insurance companies and offer all Medicare supplement plans. When you apply for a plan through us, the insurance company compensates us. That is the same way all insurance works (Life, health, auto, home etc.) The state regulates the price so you get the same price as if you went directly to the insurance company.

    • @MedigapSeminars
      @MedigapSeminars  3 роки тому

      Robert - 1. Medicare supplement plans are guaranteed renewable contracts. No one can change your benefits (not even an act of Congress). 2. By law, insurance companies cannot single a person out for their health situation. If a company is to raise prices it must first get permission from the state, then apply the price change to everyone with that plan in that area. 2. Medicare supplement plans do not offer Part D coverage. You need a Part D prescription drug plan for that. See my other videos Click here: #MedigapSeminars

      My company works with all the major insurers that are rated A- or better, have competitive prices that have a history of price stability. In addition, they must work with independent agents. Washington National is an A- rated company. I do not recall seeing it on my quote system as competitively priced. From what I understand, they only use "Captured" agents that are employees of the company. They therefore do not have the option of shopping insurance companies to represent your best interest. www.indeed.com/cmp/Washington-National/reviews

      Good question. It is hidden. It does not even show up in the quote engine data base. Keeping it hidden is why in many states they call one of their annual price increases a "Reversal of a discount" It's not. There is no discount. It's just a way they can include a 3% annual price increase without it showing up as a price increase.
