Medigap Plan G

If you're approaching age 65 and looking into Medicare Supplement insurance, trying to wrap your head around all the various plans can be a bit overwhelming. You may have heard that Medigap Plan F is the most comprehensive plan. Then why is Medigap Plan G the most popular?



What is Medigap Plan G?

In many states, Medigap Plan G is the most popular Medicare Supplement plan. If Medigap Plan F is more comprehensive, why would Plan G be more popular? It comes down to price.

Medigap Plan G actually has the exact same coverage as Plan F, however, with Plan G you're responsible for the Medicare Part B deductible ($183 in 2018). So, while with Plan F you will have no out-of-pocket medical expenses, with Plan G you'll first have to meet your $183 deductible . Once you meet your deductible, you'll pay no further out-of-pocket medical expenses with Medigap Plan G.


Choosing between Medigap Plan F and Plan G is pretty easy. Like we said before: it comes down to price. Medigap Plan G will almost always have a lower monthly premium than Plan F. More often than not, if the annual savings for the Plan G policy is more than $183, then you should get Plan G. On the other hand, if you amount you save on premiums is less than $183, it likely makes sense to get Plan F. Of course there are other factors to consider, but the cost of each plan is usually determinative.
