Medicare Supplement explained.
Medicare Supplement Insurance — also known as Medigap — works alongside Original Medicare to help cover the out-of-pocket costs that Medicare alone doesn't pay. It's the predictable, flexible alternative to Medicare Advantage.
- Pays the gaps in Original Medicare — covers deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and other out-of-pocket costs you'd otherwise pay yourself.
- Predictable monthly costs — pay one steady premium and know what to expect when you use healthcare.
- Use ANY doctor accepting Medicare — no networks, no provider lists, no surprises when you need a specialist.
- Travel coverage nationwide — your coverage works the same in any state, perfect for Florida snowbirds and travelers.
- No referrals required — see specialists directly without going through a primary care doctor first.
- También llamado Medigap — los planes son estandarizados por el gobierno federal.
Standardized plans.
Medigap plans are standardized by the federal government — meaning Plan G from one carrier provides the exact same medical benefits as Plan G from another carrier. The difference is the price and the carrier's reputation. These are the most popular plans in Florida.
Plan G
Covers nearly everything Original Medicare doesn't. You pay only the Part B deductible once a year — then nothing else for covered services.
- Highest level of coverage available to new enrollees
- No copays for doctor visits
- Foreign travel emergency coverage
- Predictable yearly costs
Plan N
Lower monthly premium than Plan G in exchange for small copays when you visit doctors or the ER. A great option for healthy seniors who want savings.
- Lower monthly premium
- $20 copay for office visits
- $50 copay for ER (waived if admitted)
- Foreign travel emergency coverage
High Deductible Plan G
The lowest monthly premium of any standard Medigap plan. You pay an annual deductible ($2,920 in 2026) before the plan kicks in, then full Plan G benefits.
- Lowest monthly premium
- $2,920 annual deductible (2026)
- Full Plan G coverage after deductible
- Best for healthy clients with savings
Same plan. Different rates.
Florida is one of the most complex Medigap markets in the country. While the plans themselves are standardized, the prices vary significantly between carriers and even between ZIP codes within the same county.
Florida has significant rate variations across the state. The same Plan G policy can cost different amounts depending on where you live:
- Palm Beach County
- Broward County
- Miami-Dade County
- The Treasure Coast
- Tampa Bay area
- Orlando metro
Carriers also handle annual rate increases differently. Some carriers have a history of consistent, modest increases. Others can have larger spikes. Choosing the right carrier matters more in Florida than in most states.
Carrier choice and timing matter more in Florida than most states. We help you compare across multiple top-rated carriers in your specific ZIP code.

Key things to understand.
Medigap is straightforward — but there are a few important rules that affect when you can enroll, switch, and how rates work in Florida.
- Best time to enroll is your Medigap Open Enrollment Period — the 6 months starting when you turn 65 and enroll in Part B. During this window, you have guaranteed acceptance with no medical underwriting.
- Outside Open Enrollment, underwriting may apply — most carriers can ask health questions and deny coverage or charge more. Switching plans later requires planning.
- Florida's Birthday Rule — Florida residents can switch to a similar or lesser Medigap plan with the same carrier for 30 days each year around their birthday, without underwriting.
- You pay a separate Part D plan — Medigap doesn't include prescription drug coverage. You'll need a standalone Part D plan, which we can help you select.
- Premiums increase over time — every Medigap plan's premium increases with age and inflation. Carrier choice affects how much and how often.
- Plan letters are standardized — companies are not — Plan G is Plan G everywhere. The carrier behind it determines price, customer service, and rate stability.

Frequently asked questions.
What's the difference between Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage?
Medicare Supplement (Medigap) works alongside Original Medicare to cover the gaps — copays, deductibles, coinsurance. You can use any doctor accepting Medicare nationwide. Medicare Advantage replaces Original Medicare with a private plan that uses provider networks. Both have pros and cons. We have a detailed comparison at our Medicare Advantage page.
When can I enroll in a Medicare Supplement plan?
The best time is during your Medigap Open Enrollment Period — the 6 months starting when you turn 65 and enroll in Part B. During this window, you have guaranteed acceptance with no medical underwriting and no health-based pricing. Outside this period, you can still enroll, but most carriers can deny coverage or charge more based on your health. Florida's "Birthday Rule" gives some flexibility annually.
How much does a Medigap plan cost in Florida?
Premiums vary significantly by carrier, ZIP code, age, and tobacco use. Florida has some of the most variable Medigap rates in the country — the same Plan G can cost different amounts in different Florida counties. For current 2026 rates, see our Florida Medigap Rate Guide. For your specific situation, we'll pull personalized quotes during your free consultation.
¿Cuál es mejor: Plan G o Plan N?
Depende. Plan G tiene premium más alto pero cubre casi todo — solo pagas el deducible de Part B una vez al año. Plan N tiene premium más bajo pero pagas copays pequeños cuando ves doctores ($20) o vas a emergencias ($50). Plan N es mejor si está saludable y va al doctor poco. Plan G es mejor si quiere previsibilidad total. Ver nuestra guía completa Plan G vs Plan N.
Can I switch Medigap plans later?
Yes, but with restrictions. Outside your Medigap Open Enrollment Period, switching usually requires medical underwriting — meaning the new carrier can deny coverage or charge more based on your health. Florida's Birthday Rule allows you to switch to the same or lesser plan within 30 days of your birthday each year without underwriting. We help our clients evaluate switches every year to take advantage of better rates when available.
¿Necesito un plan Part D si tengo Medigap?
Sí. Medigap NO incluye cobertura de medicamentos recetados. Necesita comprar un plan Part D por separado para cobertura de medicamentos, o podría enfrentar penalidades permanentes si se inscribe tarde. Nosotros le ayudamos a seleccionar el plan Part D correcto basado en sus medicamentos actuales — esto es parte de nuestro servicio sin costo adicional.
Why does the price of the same plan vary between carriers?
Because while the medical benefits are standardized by the federal government, the premium is set by each insurance carrier. Carriers price differently based on their underwriting philosophy, claims experience, marketing costs, and target demographics. This is why one company's Plan G can cost $30-50/month more than another's — for the exact same coverage. Comparing carriers is essential, and that's where an independent agent (us) saves you money.
How much does it cost to talk with you?
Nothing. It's free. As licensed independent agents, we're paid by the insurance carriers — not by you. Our consultation, plan comparison, application help, and ongoing service throughout the life of your policy costs you nothing extra. Your premium is exactly the same whether you apply with us or directly through a carrier.
