How much does a Medicare Supplement Plan Cost In Jacksonville, Florida?

How much does a Medicare supplement plan cost in Jacksonville, Florida? Well, that depends upon a variety of factors. Generally, Medicare supplement plan monthly premiums run slightly higher in Florida than they do in most other states. But there are other factors that have a far greater impact on price.

We will list the factors that impact the premium rates of Medicare supplement insurance. They are ordered from the most significant impact, to the least:

Plan Type
Age
Company
Tobacco Use
Health Status

Plan Type
The most significant factor is the plan type that you choose. For example, the monthly premium of a plan type "F" is going to be significantly higher than the monthly premium of a "high deductible plan type F". This is because each Medicare supplement plan type offers a different benefit structure. All supplement plans are designed to cover medical costs that are not covered by traditional Medicare. However, some plans pick up more medical costs than others. These benefit differences are reflected in monthly premium.

Age
With very few exceptions, the older you are, the higher your monthly premium.

Good to know: Just because your doctor writes you a prescription doesn't mean you can fill it. Expensive medications for treatment of certain cancers, diabetes, liver disease, and a host of other maladies can cost patients tens to hundreds of thousands of dollars if the insurer does not cover the drugs. But even if the drugs are covered, insurers have been known to try to stall, just to see if the patient will come up with the money to pay for the drugs rather than wait on the insurer's approval. What can we say? It happens.

Company
In Jacksonville, Florida Medicare supplement monthly premiums vary wildly depending upon which insurance company you buy the plan from. The fact that plan benefits may be exactly the same, does not mean the monthly premium will be. While traditional Medicare is a government program, Medicare supplement plans are offered by private insurance companies. They get to set the pricing of the plans they offer.

Tobacco Use
Most insurance companies in Florida will charge a slightly higher monthly premium for Medicare supplement coverage if you smoke or chew tobacco.

Health Status
In some cases, if you are not enrolling within the open enrollment - guarantee issue time frame for Medicare supplement coverage, some companies in Florida will charge you a higher rate if you have specific medical issues. Please contact us if you have questions concerning this.

Good to know: High-deductible plans come at a cost: You'll pay less each month in terms of premiums, but if you do have to use any medical services, you'll pay out of pocket for longer thanks to that high deductible. Still, if you're looking to lower your monthly costs and you're someone who doesn't frequent the doctor often, high-deductible plans are a valid option.
