Medicare Supplement Insurance Ohio

Medicare Plan F is Going Away in 2020

In 2020 you will no longer be able to purchase a Medicare Supplement Plan F in Ohio. However, if you get a Plan F policy in Ohio now you will be able to keep it. These highly valuable supplemental plans are being phased out as a cost cutting measure for the government. The theory is that seniors will stop seeing their doctor if they have to pay out-of-pocket.

Medicare Supplements Work with Medicare Part D

A supplement does not pay for your prescriptions. By law, supplemental insurance must cover Original Medicare covers, and nothing more. Foreign travel coverage is the only exception. To get help with your prescriptions, you'll need to join a Ohio Medicare Part D plan.

Ohio has Standardized Medicare Supplements

The Ohio Department of Insurance and the federal government passed laws that require insurance carriers to standardize Medicare Supplement insurance. Plans must be identified as Medicare Supplement Insurance and plans must follow the state's standardized naming convention. Each standardized plan offers the same benefits. Only the monthly premiums, and how the premiums are calculated, may vary.

All Medicare Supplements sold in Ohio provide the same general benefits, however, some provide more gap coverage. This lets you to select the plan with the amount of insurance you want.

Each carrier markets the policies it deems best. Insurers:

Are not required to offer every plan
Must offer Plan A
Must also offer Plan C or Plan F
