The US Census Bureau states that there has been a steady rise in the number of Baby Boomers and it is estimated that by 2030, 76 million Baby Boomers will turn 65 years. Further 40% of these senior citizens will enter nursing homes and another 12 million will require long-term medical attention. In the forthcoming decades, there might be a reduction in the availability of Medicare benefits for the senior citizens and there is a compulsive necessity to opt for Medigap policies.

Baby Boomers are on the lookout for alternative modes to cover the healthcare expenses and this is where Medigap insurance coverage come into picture. Medicare Policies alone cannot manage the healthcare expenses and hence the Medigap policies which are otherwise called the supplemental medical insurance policies come to our aid as they cover deductibles, co-pays and other medical expenses.

Medicare Supplement insurance plans are a vital part of any long-term financial plan for someone over age 65. With the ever-increasing cost of health care, a Medicare supplement plan can help you to eliminate your out-of-pocket expense.

The GI rights generally occur when your current health care coverage is changing in a certain way or you are involuntarily losing your coverage. Specific insurance companies may create their own GI situations, and they do; however, there are seven Federally-prescribed GI situations that all Medicare Supplement insurance companies must follow. If you fall into one of these periods, you should be able to sign up for a Medicare Supplement plan on a Guaranteed Issue basis. These seven situations are:

You have employer or union coverage that pays AFTER Medicare, and that coverage is ending.

2.    You are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan, and this plan is leaving the Medicare program, stops servicing your area, OR you are moving out of the plan's specific service area.

3.    You have a Medicare SELECT policy, and you are moving out of the plan's service area. You can keep your current policy, but you do have the right, on a GI basis, to switch to a new policy.

4.    Your Medicare Supplement company goes bankrupt, which causes you to lose coverage. OR, you lose Medicare Supplement plan coverage through no fault of your own.

5.    You enrolled in a Medicare Advantage plan or PACE when you were first eligible to enroll, and within a year of joining, you wish to switch back to “original” Medicare (and a Medicare Supplement plan).

6.    You dropped a Medicare Supplement to switch to a Medicare Advantage or Medicare SELECT policy for the first time. You have been in that plan for less than a year and wish to switch back to Medigap.

7.    You decide to drop a Medigap policy or leave a Medicare Advantage plan because the company hasn't followed the rules or misled you in some way.

Individual states also have the authority to create additional GI situations, and some have done so. Also, some of the specific GI situations have particular requirements for the plans that you can go into. For example, you may be eligible for a GI into a Medicare Supplement plan; however, it may have to be one of certain plans.

3. You may not be able to qualify for it later. Although Medicare Supplement plans are standardized and regulated by the Federal government, the private companies can decide who they accept onto their plans. While some companies employ less stringent underwriting than others, it is always a possibility that you will not be accepted onto a supplement plan if you want until you “need” it to apply for it
