Medicare Supplement Insurance in Arizona

Medicare Supplement insurance (also called Medigap) helps senior and disabled Arizona residents pay for certain Medicare co-payments, deductibles, and other costs. Insurance companies can offer state residents one of the 10 standardized Medigap plan options: Plans A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, and N.

Important: Plan F and Plan C are not available to Medicare beneficiaries who become eligible for Medicare on or after January 1, 2020.

Medicare Supplement Insurance pricing methods

Medigap pricing methods are important because they dictate how your premiums may increase in future years. There are 3 different pricing methods:

• Attained-age rated: The premium increases as you age.
• Issue-age rated: The premium is based on your age when you buy and it may increase due to inflation and other factors, but not due to your age.
• Community rated: The same premium is charged to all Medigap policyholders.

Under-65 enrollment rules

Although Medicare Supplement insurance is primarily for senior citizens, it also covers disabled people and those with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Each state’s insurance department dictates the rules governing Medicare beneficiaries under the age of 65.

Insurance companies in Arizona are not required to sell any Medigap policies to those under 65 years old but may still do so at their own choosing.
