Why Shop Around for Medicare Supplement Insurance?

Why do the majority of Medicare Insurance Recipients spend too much for their Medicare Supplement Insurance? It's simple, they don't shop around.

All Medicare Supplement Insurance Companies Offer the Same Plans.

The simple truth is that in most states, Medicare Supplements are standardized by government regulators in how they supplement your Medicare Insurance. What that means is that whether you get an AARP Insurance Medicare Plan or supplemental insurance from Blue Cross Blue Shield, Loyal American, Mutual of Omaha or any other company that offers Medicare Supplemental Insurance, they are under the same requirements for what policies and provisions they are allowed to offer. The standardized supplemental insurance policies offered in most states are lettered A-L.

Though companies can choose which of these Medicare Supplement Insurance plans they wish to offer, the coverage’s for these standardized policies are the same from company to company. This is because they are standardized by regulators. However, though the coverage’s are the same, the prices differ dramatically from company to company.
