How It Works

Choosing among Medicare Supplement plans A, F, G, and N comes down to weighing what each one covers against what it costs each month, and this tool lines up those trade-offs for 2026. The stakes are real: with the 2026 Part B premium potentially reaching $180.00 and the Part A deductible at $1,732, the plan you pick directly shapes how much of that bill you absorb yourself versus how much your coverage handles.

Premium estimates draw on a weighted average of publicly available rate data from the top 5 Medigap insurers in your selected ZIP code for 2026, adjusted for your age and gender. On the coverage side, the comparisons follow the standardized benefits Medicare defines, spelling out which plans pick up the Part A and B deductibles, Part B excess charges, and foreign travel emergency care so the differences are easy to see side by side.

An estimate is only a starting point, and your actual premium can land well above or below it depending on your health, an insurer's underwriting, and how your state prices coverage, whether community-rated, issue-age-rated, or attained-age-rated. Because identical benefits can carry very different price tags, pulling direct quotes from several insurers before you commit is the surest way to know what you will really pay.

Example: 68-Year-Old Female in Florida Seeking Comprehensive Coverage

  1. 1 Input: Age 68, Female, ZIP Code 33139 (Miami Beach, FL), Desired Coverage: Comprehensive (Plan G).
  2. 2 Calculation: Average 2026 Plan G premium for a 68-year-old female in 33139 from top insurers (e.g., Aetna, Mutual of Omaha, Cigna, Anthem, Humana) is $215.00/month. Plan G covers 100% of the Part A deductible ($1,732 in 2026), Part B coinsurance, and Part B excess charges.
  3. 3 Intermediate Result: Plan G provides the most comprehensive coverage for new enrollees, covering all Medicare-approved expenses except the Part B deductible ($240 in 2026). Estimated annual premium: $2,580.00.
  4. 4 Final Result: For this individual, Medigap Plan G is estimated to cost $215.00 per month in 2026, offering robust coverage that virtually eliminates out-of-pocket costs for Medicare-approved services after meeting the Part B deductible. Compared to Plan N, which might be $170.00/month but has copays for doctor visits and ER, Plan G offers greater peace of mind for higher premium.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Medigap Plan F and Plan G?
Plan F covers the Part B deductible ($267 in 2026) while Plan G does not. Otherwise they are identical. Plan G often has lower premiums, so paying the deductible out of pocket and choosing Plan G typically saves money overall.
When is the best time to buy Medigap?
Your best window is the 6-month open enrollment period starting the month you turn 65 and are enrolled in Part B. During this period, insurers cannot deny coverage or charge more due to pre-existing conditions.
Can I switch Medigap plans later?
You can apply anytime, but outside your initial enrollment period, insurers in most states can use medical underwriting to deny coverage or charge higher premiums. A few states like New York and Connecticut guarantee issue year-round.
