MEDIGAP PLANS [Medicare Supplemental Coverage]

Do you keep up with the changes your state makes through legislation to Medigap plans [Medicare Supplemental plans].

 

These could affect you in certain situations 

  • your ability to switch plans or insurers at a specified time during the year
  • OR perhaps buy a Medigap policy if you are less than 65 years old and on Medicare.
  • OR even if you have ALS or ESRD in some states.  

Your State’s legislators should know of these changes as well as your state’s dept of insurance.  Also the SHIP counselors in your state as well as the Medicare plan agents and brokers.

    Thanks for posting. You've brought up a topic that needs thoughtful debate. I follow legislative discussion in North Carolina and so far, I know of no interest in passing legislation making it easier to get into a Medigap plan without medical underwriting - and that suits me just fine because such well-intentioned legislation would drive up premium prices for everyone by allowing unhealthy people to buy Medigap plans.

    I'm responding to my own latest post because I just noticed the AARP's new post about a (paraphrasing) new and improved discussion board.  I hope that it will be as open as this one has been, where people are free to speak their truth about insurance products as well as, the AARP.

    Did I miss something?  Lol!
    Is this truly an open board where people feel free to speak their truth?

    Tonight's the night for the board's changeover. Like the caterpillar changing into a butterfly. I hope we recognize the new board. Glub....glub....gl....

    Gail @GailL1 , there has been NO "updates" on the date = I DONOT think it is happening today/tonight. But anything is possible. You should be able to keep your PROFILE PICTURE from what I read (what AARP Teri posted in their General Help Forum). Your handle (signature), I doubt it.

     

    Lol, I was wondering what @jo85336578 was talking about!!! 😂

     

    Thought they were "referring" to Board of Directors. Thanks for "clarifying".

     

    Nicole!
