Here's a breakdown of the four most common Medigap plans and who they are best suited for:
Plan G: The Comprehensive Coverage Option Plan G is ideal for those who want extensive coverage and are willing to pay a slightly higher premium for peace of mind. Compare Plan G options to see how it covers almost all out-of-pocket costs associated with Original Medicare, except for the Part B deductible.
Best for:
- Individuals who frequently use medical services
- Those who want predictable healthcare costs
- People who can afford slightly higher premiums
Plan N: The Cost-Effective Choice Plan N offers a balance between comprehensive coverage and lower premiums. Explore Plan N plans to see how it provides similar coverage to Plan G but with some cost-sharing.
Best for:
- Those who want lower premiums but still desire good coverage
- Individuals who don't mind paying small copays for doctor visits and emergency room care
- People who rarely encounter Part B excess charges
Plan F: The Most Comprehensive (Legacy Plan) Plan F offers the most comprehensive coverage of all Medigap plans. However, it's only available to beneficiaries who were eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020.
Best for:
- Those eligible for Medicare before 2020 who want the most complete coverage
- Individuals who prefer to pay higher premiums for zero out-of-pocket costs

High-Deductible Plan G: The Low-Premium Option This plan offers the same comprehensive coverage as standard Plan G but with a high deductible. Learn about High-Deductible Plan G to see if it fits your needs.
Best for:
- Healthy individuals who rarely use medical services
- Those who want lower premiums and are willing to take on more financial risk
- People with sufficient savings to cover the high deductible if needed
