monthly premium. This is because it only has one small out-of-pocket expense before it provides 100% coverage of the gaps in Medicare Part A and B.

Medicare Plan G – The best plan?
For many years people enrolled in Medicare plan F because it was the most comprehensive plan offered. The plan gives you 100% coverage of the gaps in Medicare part A and part B.
Now only people who were enrolled in Medicare prior to January 1st of 2020 may have a Plan F. And those people are overpaying drastically.
For anyone new to Medicare just turning 65 or retiring and taking part B Medicare, you’re no longer allowed to enroll in plan F. That’s OK though!
It’s too expensive for too little benefit.
Medigap plan G is a far better option, keep reading to learn why.
Medicare Basics
First, I’ll briefly go over some background of Medicare and why you might need a Medigap plan, to begin with.
With Medicare, you have two basic parts. Medicare part A and part B.
Medicare part A covers hospitalization and you paid for it your entire working life through payroll taxes.
Medicare part B covers doctor’s services, and you have to pay a monthly premium to have that. This is for anything outpatient and what you’ll be using the most.
Then you’ll have a Medigap Plan, and most people add a Part D drug plan to that as well.
Now Medicare Part A and B don’t cover all of your medical bills. They have what are called gaps, or expenses, that you are responsible for paying.
These “gaps” are things like:
- Deductibles
- Coinsurance
- Co-payments
Because they are called gaps, that is where the name Medigap comes from. A Medigap plan pays most of these for you depending on which plan letter you enroll in.
Medigap plans are offered in letters A through N.
There really are just a few different Medigap plans that make the most sense due to their great coverage and low premiums.
These are:
- Medigap plan G
- Medigap Plan N
- Medigap plan F
Medigap plan G coverage
The reason why Plan G is definitely the most popular plan is that it just has one small out-of-pocket expense that you’re required to pay.
Remember I mentioned the gaps in Medicare?
Well, one of those gaps is a deductible for part B Medicare. Remember that part B is for doctor’s services.
Medicare Part B has an annual deductible that you must pay prior to Medicare paying any of your doctor’s bills. This deductible is $226 in 2023.
After you pay the deductible Medicare will pay 80% of your medical bills.
The great thing about Medigap plan G is, once you pay this deductible plan G will pick up 100% of the rest of your Medicare-approved expenses.
This means that after $226 that you must pay, Medicare and plan G will pay the rest of your bills 100% for the rest of the year!
This is outstanding coverage.
The deductible you must pay is a calendar year deductible, which means you pay it once and it’s paid for the rest of the year. It then resets in January.
Medigap Plan F vs. G
As I mentioned, Medicare supplement plan F was the most popular for years because offers 100% coverage. The only people who are allowed to enroll in this plan are those who are eligible for Medicare prior to January 1 of 2020.
I often get the question “Russell, should I keep my Medicare plan F?” My answer is always the same.
No!
Medicare plan F has much higher premiums than the deductible amount. And because we know the only difference between the two plans is who pays that deductible, why on earth would you pay $200 extra a year or far more, just for them to write a check with your money?
You wouldn’t and you shouldn’t. Let us help switch you to Plan G today! Remember you can change Medigap plans anytime during the year.
Medicare plan F also has higher rate increases each year and that will continue because it is a closed plan.
To save the most money, and be in a better spot for the future Medigap plan G is the way to go.

Medigap plan G rate increases
Another big factor is that you will get a rate increase every year on the anniversary 
of your policy. This will happen with every single company, so don’t let someone tell you otherwise.
