Why Do I Have to Call for a Medigap Quote?
If you’ve searched for Medigap (Medicare Supplement) quotes online, you might be frustrated to find they’re not easily accessible. Why can’t you get Medigap quotes online? The method in which premiums are calculated is the main reason you cannot find Medigap quotes online.
Unlike Medicare Advantage plans (for which pricing is widely available online), Medigap plans are priced individually by private insurance carriers. There are several factors to be considered when shopping for a Medigap; This is why most companies prompt you to call for a Medigap quote.
Medigap premiums are determined by three different pricing structures:
- Community Rated: Everyone pays the same premium, regardless of age.
- Issue-Age Rated: Premium is based on your age at the time of purchase.
- Attained-Age Rated: Premiums increase as you age.
Additional factors that affect Medigap rates:
- Gender: Women generally pay less than men due to lower health risks.
- Location: Costs vary significantly by state or even zip code.
- Lifestyle: Smokers and non-smokers can see big price differences.
- Household Discounts: Some carriers offer discounts for multiple family enrollees or adult cohabitants.
As you can see, all these factors make it nearly impossible to display universal rates. For accurate pricing, be sure to consult a licensed agent or call for a Medigap quote!
