Medicare Advantage Plans
Advantage plans are private HMO and PPO plans from an insurance company.

Medicare Supplement (Medigap) policy review
One of the reasons you probably chose this style of coverage was for its STABILITY.
Unlike Medicare Advantage plans, Medigap plan benefits remain unchanged, and policyholders can apply for a new policy at a lower rate at any time of year. In most states, a simple review of current medical conditions is required to determine eligibility.
If you have had the same Medicare Supplement company and plan letter for at least three years, it could be time to evaluate whether the price you are paying is still fair and whether you meet the health requirements to make a change.
Most requests received during Annual Open Enrollment can be addressed before the end of February. We can typically handle all requests received between January and September very quickly.
