    Which Plan Should You Choose Based on Your Situation?

    Most Popular

    Plan G

    The best overall value for most people. You pay only the Part B deductible ($283/year) - everything else is covered.

    Best for: Anyone who wants comprehensive coverage with predictable costs and freedom to see any doctor.

    Lowest Premium

    High-Deductible Plan G

    Same benefits as Plan G, but you pay a $2,870 annual deductible before coverage kicks in. Premiums as low as $30 to $80/month.

    Best for: Healthy individuals who want catastrophic protection at the lowest possible premium.

    Newer Option

    Innovative Plan G

    A hybrid approach - same Plan G benefits but with a modest deductible or copay structure. Lower premiums than standard G, higher than HD G.

    Best for: People who want a middle ground between Plan G's full coverage and High-Deductible G's lower premiums.

    Budget-Friendly

    Plan N

    Save $20 to $50/month on premiums vs Plan G. You pay small copays ($20 office, $50 ER) and may be responsible for Part B excess charges.

    Best for: Healthy individuals who don't visit the doctor frequently and want lower premiums.

    Cost-Sharing

    Plans K & L

    K covers 50% and L covers 75% of most benefits, with annual out-of-pocket limits ($7,060 and $3,530). Lowest premiums after HD plans.

    Best for: Those who want lower premiums with a built-in spending cap for protection.

    Basic Coverage

    Plan A

    Covers the core benefits - Part A & B coinsurance, blood, and hospice. Does not cover deductibles, SNF, excess charges, or foreign travel.

    Best for: Those who want basic gap coverage at a lower premium and are comfortable paying deductibles out of pocket.

    Frequently Asked Questions About Medicare Supplement Plans

    Plan G is the best overall value for most new enrollees. It covers everything except the $283 Part B annual deductible, with premiums of $130 to $270/month at age 65. You'll pay predictable costs and can see any doctor nationwide. High-Deductible Plan G is the best value for healthy people who want the lowest premiums ($30 to $80/month).

    Plan G covers everything except the Part B deductible ($283/year). Plan N has lower premiums (save $20 to $50/month) but charges copays, $20 for office visits and up to $50 for ER visits not resulting in admission. Plan N also doesn't cover Part B excess charges. For most people, Plan G's comprehensive coverage and predictability make it the better choice.

    High-Deductible Plan G has the same benefits as standard Plan G, but you must pay a $2,870 annual deductible (2026) before the plan starts covering costs. Premiums are the lowest of any Medigap plan, typically $30 to $80/month at age 65. It's best for healthy individuals who want catastrophic protection at the lowest possible cost.

    Innovative Plan G is a newer option that combines Plan G benefits with a modest cost-sharing structure (typically a $500 to $1,000 deductible or small copays). Premiums fall between standard Plan G and High-Deductible Plan G, usually $90 to $200/month at age 65. Availability varies by carrier and state.

    Plans C and F are only available to people who became Medicare-eligible before January 1, 2020. These plans cover the Part B deductible, which newer plans (G, N) do not. If you're newly eligible for Medicare, Plan G is the closest equivalent to Plan F.

    Premiums vary significantly by ZIP code, carrier, age, gender, and tobacco use. The same Plan G can cost $130/month from one carrier and $270/month from another in the same area, with identical coverage. Working with an independent broker who represents multiple carriers is the most efficient way to compare.
