There’s soon to be a new plan added to to the AARP Medicare Supplement plans being offered, largely by consumer demand. It’s Plan G and this plan is very similar to the already favored plan F that’s currently being offered by AARP.

Plan G will be made available in most states through United Healthcare after July 1st, 2017. The chart below lists all the states that will be offering this plan. The following states will not: Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Nebraska, New Hampshire, Texas, Vermont, and Wisconsin.

At this time there is no forthcoming information to indicate whether Plan G will be offered in these states in the future.  If you live in one of the states where AARP will not be offering Plan G, you may want to contact them directly and let them know your desire to see Plan G offered in your state!

What If Plan G Isn’t Offered in my State?

If you like Plan G but it’s not being offered in your state, you may want to consider enrolling in Plan F. You’ll find there’s really not much difference between Medicare Supplement Plan F and Medicare Supplement Plan G. Plan F is known as the plan that pays for everything that Medicare doesn’t pay. Obviously, Medicare Plan G has to have some differences.

The only difference between Plan F and Plan G is that Plan G doesn’t pay for the Medicare Part B Deductible which is $183. Therefore, if you elect to enroll in Plan G instead of Plan F, each year you’ll need to pay $183 first for any Medicare Part B services that you required.

The premiums are slightly less for Plan G because it doesn’t pay that Part B deductible. You can also have peace of mind that the same Guarantee issue and underwriting guidelines will still be applied to the Plan G offering through AARP Medicare Supplement plans. AARP has historically offered some of the most lenient underwriting guidelines in the industry. This has made the AARP Medicare Supplement plans some of the easiest to qualify for based on your health.
