New Mexico Medicare Supplements - New Mexico Medigap Plans: Three Things You Should Know
New Mexico Medicare Supplement plans provide Medicare A and B beneficiaries with additional coverage. Medicare Supplement insurance is also referred to as Medicare Plans. When enrolled, you will pay the insurance Carrier an additional monthly premium and in return, that Carrier will pay your Medicare deductible payments, co-payments and coinsurance.
There are up to ten different New Mexico Medicare Supplement plans available to New Mexico Medicare Part A and B beneficiaries qualify. With Medicare Supplement Insurance, it is important to understand that the letter of the Plan determines the coverage, not the insurance carrier. For example, a Medicare Supplement Plan G with Blue Cross Blue Shield provides the same exact benefits as a Medicare Supplement Plan G with United Healthcare / AARP. The only difference is what each carrier is charging for the Medicare Supplement Plan. In New Mexico, the best time to purchase NM Medicare Supplement insurance plans is the Open Enrollment Period.
This period starts 6 months before the enrollee is 65 & enrolled in Medicare Part B and lasts for 6 months after. You must first make sure you’re enrolled in Medicare, as you don’t qualify for the supplement until you’re enrolled in Original Medicare Parts A and B. The Open Enrollment Period is often referred to as the OEP. During this period, you are automatically approved. This means a carrier can’t deny you coverage due to a current or previous health condition. All your pre-existing health conditions are covered right away.
It is important to understand that you can shop your New Mexico Medicare Supplement Plan all year. Medicare’s Annual Election Period that runs from October 15th through December 7th does not apply to NM Medicare Supplement Plans.
Each New Mexico Medicare Supplement Plan is assigned a letter that determines the benefits. The letters are Medicare Supplement Plan A through Medicare Supplement Plan N and have tight regulations as to what benefits will and won’t be covered in each Plan. These benefits are regulated by the government, so regardless of the carrier you go with the benefits will remain the same.
As I mentioned above, the only difference between each carrier is the price each carrier is charging. Therefore, New Mexico Medicare Supplement rates will vary from carrier to carrier. When comparing plans, beneficiaries should first take time to familiarize themselves with the benefits included in each plan letter.
The three most comprehensive and popular NM Medicare Supplement Plans are Medicare Supplement Plan F (I call this “full coverage”), Medicare Supplement Plan G (I call this “greatest value”) and Medicare Supplement Plan N (I call this “not fixed”).
It is important to understand how each NM Medicare Supplement Plan works so that when you are comparing a plan with your individual medical needs, as well as considering family history and likely conditions to occur later, it will likely become clearer which plan will best work for the you. Combining this while keeping your budget in mind is a good way to make an educated choice on New Mexico Medicare Supplemental plans.
