4 Important tips when choosing a Medicare Supplement Plan in Las Vegas, Nevada.


1.  Do not procrastinate.

When it comes to choosing the right supplement plan (sometimes referred to as Medigap Plans), the sooner you can begin the process the better.  The first thing you should do is confirm that you are actually eligible to purchase a Medicare Supplement Plan.  There is a bit more to being eligible for Medicare supplement coverage than simply turning 65.  For starts, you will need to be enrolled in both Part A, and Part B of Medicare.  If you are not certain if you are enrolled, or you do not know how to get enrolled, Please give us a call.  We can help.
If you are eligible, there is an initial enrollment period of seven months. It begins 3 months before your 65th birthday.  This open enrollment period is the best time to get your Medicare Supplement policy.


Good to know:  Want to really know the particulars concerning a health care plan?  Request the "evidence of coverage" document associated with the plan.  The evidence of coverage document is what you need if you want to understand in perfect detail, exactly what a health care plan covers.  You will find a thorough explanation of benefits, exceptions, and exclusions.  The evidence of coverage document provides details that may not be listed in that glossy plan brochure, or any online verbiage detailing plan benefits.  In most circumstances, this document is legally required to be associated with most any health plan policy.  It is available to consumers.  You need only to ask.

2.  Thoroughly review your options.

Medicare supplement plans are designated by letters of the alphabet (A-N).  Each plan option provides a specific level of coverage benefits for medical fees not covered by Medicare.  Give us a call to find out more about specific benefit information for every Medicare supplement plan type.


3.  Know your long-term budget.

There are 10 different Medicare Supplement plans in the market.  These plans are standardized.  This means the plan benefits of any specific plan type are the same - no matter which insurance company you purchase the plan from.  For example: A Medicare supplement G plan purchased from Aetna, will provide the same benefit coverage as an G plan purchased from AARP.)
Price however, is a different story.  The price of plans can vary significantly depending upon where you live, and which insurance company you choose.  Whichever plan you choose for your insurance needs, it must comfortably fit into your budget.


Good to know:  High-deductible plans come at a cost: You'll pay less each month in terms of premiums, but if you do have to use any medical services, you'll pay out of pocket for longer thanks to that high deductible.  Still, if you're looking to lower your monthly costs and you're someone who doesn't frequent the doctor often, high-deductible plans are a valid option.
