What Specifically About Medigap Will Change in June of 2010?

• Some Plans Are No Longer for Sale.  Medigap plans E, H, I, and J are being discontinued, meaning they will no longer be offered for sale starting on June 1, 2010.  However if you already have one of these plans and you want to keep it, you can.


• 2 New Plans for Sale  Two new plans, called Plan “M” and Plan “N,” have been designed and will be offered for sale.


• Plans D and G are Changing  If you bought these two plans before June 1, 2010, they will have a different set of benefits than if you bought them after.  But if you bought Plan D or Plan G before June 1st and want to keep your plan the way it is, you can.


• Basic Benefits are Changing.  Starting with policies effective on or after June 1, 2010, Hospice Part A coinsurance (outpatient prescription drug and inpatient respite care coinsurance) will be included as a basic benefit for all Medigap policies.  Plan K will cover 50% of these costs and Plan L will cover 75%.


• Part B Coinsurance is Changing.  Plans K, L and N will require you to pay part of Part B coinsurance and copayments.  This will result in lower premiums for these plans.  All other Medigap plans pay 100% of Medicare Part B coinsurance.
