Hi, thanks for watching. So the question is, in your experience, what are the best Medicare supplement insurance companies and why? First of all, what I would look at is the length of time the supplement company has been in business in that particular state. That could range from one year up to 40 or 50 years. I would really look at the claims experience. Honestly, the best way to do this is to find yourself a Medicare insurance broker that only does Medicare. Because as we know, you can't be an expert at everything. It's really good when somebody picks one lane and gets really good with it. I would lean on their advice and ask them, why do you think this company is better than another one? They could hopefully give you some solid reasons as to why.

Medicare Agent's Hub. How cool is it that so many people have questions about Medicare, and Medicare Agent's Hub sets up a place where you can get all your questions answered by folks like myself who have been doing Medicare planning for the last two decades? Anyway, the question is, "In your experience, what are the best Medicare Supplement Insurance companies and why?" Well, I represent State Farm here at my State Farm Agency on Kelly Street in Manchester, and we're one of the biggest and largest that sell Medicare. The other thing I like to do when my clients come in, like my couple today, is show them on Medicare.gov all of the supplement companies, their ratings, and their premiums each month. State Farm is always in the top three as far as competitiveness. Remember, the supplement policies are all the same. The only thing that's different is what you're paying for it and the person you're dealing with to help you with it. Work with someone you're comfortable with, someone like myself, who's been doing it forever, and we'll be glad to help you. We'll show you the other companies' costs that people love to see. So I offer my services, and we would love to help you.

Since the benefits for each Plan Type (A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M, N) is regulated, the benefits are the same for all companies for that plan type. This makes it much easier to compare plan types and carriers.
5 Things To Consider when Picking a Medigap Policy:
1-Pick a company that has a strong presence in your state and history;
2-Solid performance record in Medigap Policies and a favorable rating;
3- Stable/Market Rate Increases Year Over Year (YoY) aligned with their peer group;
4- We prefer companies that have been in the market/industry for a longer period of time and have stabilized as evidence by current and historic performance;
5- Consider the Extra Benefits/Cost of Extra Benefits (Gym Memberships, Discounts, Additional Benefits above what is required for each Medigap Plan Type.

In addition to company reputation and coverage options, premium affordability and claims process efficiency are important aspects that help the consumers choice. Companies like Cigna and Humana have gained a foothold for their competitive premiums and streamlined claims processes, which means policyholders can access care without undue hassle. Another important consideration is the availability of additional perks such as wellness programs and telehealth services, which can enhance the overall value of a Medicare supplement plan. In the end, the best Medicare supplement insurance company will depend on an individuals needs and preferences, which means beneficiaries must thoroughly research and compare options to find a plan that meets their healthcare requirements and financial situation.

I also like UnitedHealthcare (UHC). As much as I dislike UHC's other plans and Medicare Advantage Plans they acutally do a good job with their Medicare Supplements. Essentially, they have the largest risk pool in the nation. With that large risk pool comes consistency in claims and therefore rate increases.

Here is the simple truth about Medicare Supplement insurance: The plans are standardized.
This means that Plan G is Plan G, no matter who sells it. Company A and Company B provide the exact same coverage. Because the benefits are identical, you are essentially shopping for the best price and company stability.
I usually advise my clients not to overpay for a "brand name," because the medical coverage does not change.
I would be happy to show you which companies are currently offering the best rates in your zip code.

Cody Brown, Senior Benefits Services. The question is, in your experience, what are the best Medicare supplement insurance companies to choose? There's no supplement company that's better than the next, and here's why. I'll read you a sentence here out of the Medicare new handbook, which you can get directly from Medicare. It says, if you're thinking about buying Medigap, be sure to compare plans. The cost can vary between plans offered by different companies for exactly the same coverage. So right here, there's a chart of all the different supplement plan letters that you can choose from. All the insurance companies have to follow this chart, and they're all standardized, which means they can't charge you anything different from the next company. They all give you the same exact coverage. So it's not your insurance company that decides how much coverage you get. It's the same across the board. They also don't decide which doctors and hospitals you can go to and what's covered. If Medicare covers something first, that supplement company has to pay second, no matter what. So it's important to get quotes from all the companies because if not, you could find yourself way overpaying for your coverage. It's not a whole lot different than having two different gas stations right next to each other, where one charges you $3 a gallon and the other charges $2 a gallon.

It is important to review the specific benefits, premiums, and network details of each plan before making a decision. For further information about coverage criteria and policies, you may wish to consult resources such as the Medicare Coverage Criteria Policies for more detail.

There are three states that have their own unique plans: Massachusetts, Minnesota and Wisconsin. In these states you will find different options than the lettered plans.
This can be a confusing process, I advise to work with a broker who represents many companies so they can advise you on the bet plan for your individual needs.

That being said, if the AARP Medicare Supplement Plan by United Healthcare is not, then I don't know which is.
The AARP by UHC is very highly advertised/recognized nationally. I have heard doctors and members praise their cost reimbursement timeliness. Their rates are competitive.
Rating plans can vary tremendously because the nation is packed with smaller regional plans which makes it difficult to rank them without knowing what service area an inquirer is interested in.
A good agent will often improve a members perspective in the insurance carriers quality of care by the quality and availability of service offered by the agent.
Some questions are answered best by telephone or in person.

By the way, with Medgap policies, there are no network restrictions. This is something widely misunderstood, due mostly to confusion caused by Medicare Advantage (another way to have basic Medicare benefits administered by private companies), which does have networks.
Second, no matter which Medigap policy you choose, monthly premiums will go up between 2% to 25% or more each year, due to each company’s operating expenses, and an increase in perceived risk that’s expected as we get older.
Third, and more important to you, when we receive notice from any of our partner carriers of premium increases, we’re here to make sure you are aware of how it’s going to effect you.
These are just a few of the things we do for our clients, and our services are always FREE. If you have any questions and feel we can help, contact us. – I’d be delighted to hear from you. I hope you found this information helpful. Thanks for your time.

Here’s what I’ve seen in my experience:
Some of the Best Medicare Supplement Companies Are:
Mutual of Omaha
Aetna
UnitedHealthcare (through AARP)
Cigna
Blue Cross Blue Shield (varies by state)
Why These Companies Are Good:
Strong Reputation: These companies have been around a long time and are trusted by lots of people.
Good Customer Service: When you call them, they actually help you (instead of making you sit on hold forever!).
Stable Pricing: Their monthly costs (called premiums) don’t usually jump up crazy fast each year.
Easy to Use: They make it simple to use your benefits — no tricky rules or secret charges.
Financial Strength: These companies are financially healthy, which means they’ll be there when you need them.
Important to Know:
The Plan You Pick Matters More Than the Company!
Medicare Supplement plans (like Plan G or Plan N) are standardized by law. That means Plan G from Mutual of Omaha is the same as Plan G from Cigna — it just costs a little differently or has different customer service.
Price and Service are Key: Since the benefits are the same, you want a company with a good price and good service.
Little Tip:
Always look at both the monthly premium and how much they’ve raised rates in the past — because even a good company can get pricey over time if they raise rates too fast!
In short:
Pick a strong, trusted company with good rates today and a good history of keeping prices steady tomorrow. That’s the real "best" choice!
Let me know if you want me to help you compare a few — I can help you find the one that fits you best.
