Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plans M & N
Beginning June 1st, 2010 Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) will include two new choices for consumers – Medicare Supplement “M” and Medicare Supplement “N”. At that time Medigap plans E, H, I, and J will be eliminated as the “Preventive Care Benefit” and the “At-home-Recovery” benefit are removed and these become identical to other lettered Medigap plans. Medicare has deemed these two benefits unnecessary in the current Medicare structure. In addition to these changes, a hospice care benefit Co-insurance coverage will be added to all new Medicare Supplemental Insurance policies.
Current Supplement policy holders will be permitted to keep existing Insurance policies, however as of June, 2010 enrollment will cease into ALL current plans. Existing Medigap policies (Policy holders) will be partitioned into one group and all plans purchased after June will be segregated into new policy groups. It is not necessary to purchase one plan over another (purchase the one that fits) because all plans purchased after June 1st will be in the “New” plan policy design. However, it is uncertain which Supplement providers will offer the new plans N and M. Since most insurance carriers offer several plans it is important to shop around for the best price.

Another customer we talked to wishes she had purchased an AFLAC supplemental policy earlier. An AFLAC representative visited the school where she was teaching and although she was impressed with products, she thought she was too young at 26 to need them. A year later she was diagnosed with cancer and learned the hard way how fast medical bills and the incidentals such a gas money for travel and other supplies needed from bandages to electric blankets mount up. Of course AFLAC offers many products in addition to cancer indemnity products.
Another way that AFLAC is different is that it is portable. Even though you may enroll in AFLAC through an employer (or not) you pay your own premiums, or you can have them deducted from your paycheck and your insurance can go with you if you lose your job, change jobs or move. In today’s mobile world and in such a volatile employment climate, the portability of AFLAC insurance is a big plus.
New Medigap Design
Medicare Supplement N will have similar benefits to Medicare Supplemental Insurance plan D, (not F as others have suggested) but there will be a $20 co-payment for doctor visits and a $50 co-payment for emergency room visits. It is believed that this co-pay will apply after the $135 deductible is paid, however there is some uncertainty as to how the deductible and co-pay will be coordinated. The good news — these plans are expected to have premiums around 70% of the cost of Plan F or about 77% of current Medigap plan D. Medigap Plan M will also offer similar benefits to Medicare Supplement “D”, but will only cover 50% of the part A deducible, none of the part B deductible, but no co-pays. The cost of plan M is expected to price at approximately 85% of Medigap Plan F (or 92% of current plan D).
Most customers report positive experiences with sales representatives and customer service reps although company administrators that oversee insurance benefits have privately said that customer service can be inconsistent which seems to be on par in the insurance industry.
Good points about AFLAC:
-Portable
-Pays you directly
-Offers many products
-Claim forms are simple and available online
-Pays for some preventative care
Questionable points about AFLAC:
-Higher premiums
-Inconsistent costumer service
-Can not be purchased online, must meet with a representative (which may be a positive)
Overall, AFLAC has proven to be a trustworthy supplemental insurance company that offers several unique products and has many good points. Potential customers will have to be the final judge on whether or not the premium prices for the services make AFLAC supplemental insurance a good value for them
