How It Works

Choosing among Medicare Supplement plans A, F, G, and N comes down to weighing what each one covers against what it costs each month, and this tool lines up those trade-offs. The stakes are real: in 2026 the Part A hospital deductible is $1,736 and the Part B deductible is $283, and the plan you pick decides how much of those costs you absorb yourself versus how much your coverage handles.

The premium estimate is a rough range, not insurer rate data. Each plan starts from a fixed monthly figure (Plan A $120, Plan N $140, Plan G $190, Plan F $220) that rises 3% for every year of age past 65; the calculator shows 80% to 130% of that figure as the monthly range and 12 times the midpoint as the annual estimate. It does not use your ZIP code or gender. On the coverage side, the plans follow the standardized benefits Medicare defines: Plan F covers both the Part A and Part B deductibles and Part B excess charges, but only people eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020 can buy it; Plan G covers the same except the Part B deductible; Plan N also leaves out excess charges and has copays of up to $20 for some office visits and up to $50 for ER visits that don't lead to admission; Plan A covers neither deductible.

An estimate is only a starting point, and your actual premium can land well above or below it depending on your health, an insurer's underwriting, and how the insurer prices the policy, whether community-rated, issue-age-rated, or attained-age-rated. Because identical benefits can carry very different price tags, pulling direct quotes from several insurers before you commit is the surest way to know what you will really pay.

Example: A 68-Year-Old Comparing Plan G and Plan N

  1. 1 Input: a 68-year-old woman enters age 68 and Plan G. The age factor is 1 + 3 years × 3% = 1.09, so the Plan G base of $190 becomes $207.10 a month.
  2. 2 Range: 80% of $207.10 = $165.68, shown as $166; 130% = $269.23, shown as $269. The midpoint of $166 and $269 is $217.50, rounded to $218, so the annual estimate is $218 × 12 = $2,616.
  3. 3 Switching to Plan N at the same age gives $122–$198 a month with a $160 midpoint, or $1,920 a year: $696 a year less than Plan G.
  4. 4 Plan G pays the Part A deductible ($1,736 in 2026), Part B coinsurance and Part B excess charges, leaving her the $283 Part B deductible. Plan N also pays the Part A deductible but not excess charges, and adds copays of up to $20 for some office visits and $50 for ER visits that don't end in admission. Real premiums depend on the insurer, where she lives and whether the policy is community-rated, issue-age-rated or attained-age-rated, so quotes are the real test.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between Medigap Plan F and Plan G?
Plan F covers the Part B deductible ($283 in 2026) while Plan G does not; otherwise their benefits are identical. Plan F can be bought only by people who were eligible for Medicare before January 1, 2020. Plan G comes out ahead whenever its premium is lower than Plan F's by more than the $283 deductible over the year.
When is the best time to buy Medigap?
Your best window is the 6-month open enrollment period starting the month you turn 65 and are enrolled in Part B. During this period, insurers cannot deny coverage or charge more due to pre-existing conditions.
Can I switch Medigap plans later?
You can apply anytime, but outside your Medigap Open Enrollment Period, insurers can use medical underwriting to deny coverage or charge more unless you have a guaranteed issue right. Some states have additional open enrollment periods, so check with your State Insurance Department.
