Medicare Plan G Costs

tobacco use
Household discounts (if applicable)

Medicare Plan G Coverage

Medicare Supplement plans help pay the gaps, or expenses, in both Medicare Part A and Part B. These gaps include things like:

Deductibles
Coinsurance
Copayments

The reason these plans are offered is that Original Medicare Part A and B do not pay all your medical bills.

Medicare Part A covers your hospitalization, and Part B covers doctor’s services.

Probably the easiest way to explain what Medicare Plan G covers, is to simply explain what it doesn’t cover. Medigap Plan G pays 100% of the gaps in Medicare (All costs) except for the annual Medicare Part B deductible.

Prior to Medicare paying any doctor bills, someone is required to pay the Medicare Part B annual deductible. This deductible is $233 in 2022.

Once this deductible is met, Medicare Part B comes in and pays 80% of your medical bills, leaving 20% that you are responsible for. In this case, if you have a Plan G, it not only pays the remaining 20% but pays everything else in full.

Annual Medicare Part B deductible

On Medicare Plan G, you must first pay the annual Part B deductible ($233 in 2022) before Medicare pays 80% of your medical bills. Then Plan G pays the remaining 20%.

Medicare Plan G vs Plan F

Medicare plan F used to be the plan with the highest coverage. It paid 100% of all your medical bills for you, including the Medicare Part B deductible.

This plan was too expensive for years and drove up medical costs.

Therefore on January 1st of 2020 Medicare removed this plan from the lineup for any new people enrolling in Medicare. If you had the plan prior to this date you could keep it, though the rates are likely very high.

The only difference between Plan F and Medicare Plan G is who pays the Part B deductible. Plan F pays it for you, and with Plan G you pay it on your own.

The premiums for Medicare Plan F are much higher than the deductible amount itself, which means you are paying an insurance carrier extra money to write a check with your money.

Plan F also has had much higher rate increases over plan G, which is why so many people are leaving their Plan F and allowing us to help them find the best Medicare Plan G.
