San Francisco area Medicare Supplement plans are “Standardized” meaning each company which offers a Medigap Plan F, for example, must all have the same benefits and plan structure.  The only different with the plan is the monthly premium.  Each company chooses how to price a particular Medicare Supplement plan depending on the State, County, Zip code and the age of the person.  Some companies will also provide ‘tobacco’ rates which are higher than the typical rate for that age group.

On June 1 2010 the Medicare Supplement industry is going through a few changes.  There will be two new Medigap plans introduced: Plans M and N.  Also hospice benefits will be added to all plans, and Plans E, H, I and J will be discontinued.  If you currently have one of these plans you can keep them.  New (E, H, I and J) plans will not be issued after June 1, 2010.

With Hospitals such as, St. Mary’s Hospital, San Francisco General, Chinese Hospital, UCSF, Mt. Zion, Seton Medical Center and many other providers to choose from.  Remember as a Medicare Supplement policy holder, you are entitled to see any physician, hospital or specialist in the United States who accept Medicare.

Enrolling in one of these plans is easy.  Simply complete the enrollment application and fax it to me, I’ll do the rest.  Most companies allow you to fax the completed application so you don’t have to send a check with the app.  Usually the debit form or credit card info is necessary to initiate the payment process.  California residents have two guaranteed issue times.  They have the Open Enrollment which is for people who are turning 65 or new to Medicare Part B coverage, in which case they have three months prior to their Part B coverage starting and three months after, to choose and enroll into a Medigap plan.  During this time your enrollment and acceptance is guaranteed, regardless of your current or previous health status.  California residents also have the “Birthday Rule” which is also a guaranteed issue event.  This allow you to change companies each year on the month of your birthday.  So if a company you choose falls out of favor with you, for whatever reason, you can switch companies during your birthday month, guaranteed.
