AARP Medicare Supplment Plans had very low rate increases from 2011 to 2012. As a result, they offers the lowest rates for most supplement plans in Connecticut and New York. Here is a quick review of the most competative plans offered and the options Medicare Beneficiaries are choosing for 2012.
- Connecticut
- AARP Plan F Supplement- Plan F has a 2012 premium of $216.50 ($214.50 after Bank Draft ) this represents the lowest cost plan F available in the state of Connecticut. Plan F is the most comprehensive supplement covering the most services of any of the options.
- AARP Plan N supplement- Plan N has been on the market for 2 years $154.75 and has quickly become the most popular supplement choice. The plan covers the same services as plan F with 4 notable exceptions which are (Part B Medicare deductible, Part B excess, $50 charge for ER and $20 charge for doctor office visits)
- Plan K supplement– Plan K was brought into the market overpriced but is now worth taking a look at after 2 years of rate reductions. This plan offers a much lower premium but leaves much more potential for out of pocket cost vs. Plan F and N. Those seriously considering a plan K would likely be better suited to choose the Anthem BlueCross BlueShield Plan F High Deductible Supplement with a monthly premium of about $35.00 a month at this point
- New York
- Plan F Supplement- AARP has a rate advantage over all competitors in the NYC, Long Island, Westchester area and most all of NY. AARP plan F is the choice in NY for those that want the least out of pocket expense possible.
- Plan N Supplement- AARP also has the lowest plan N supplement rate in NY but they do have more competition with Empire BCBS within a few dollars of the premium they offer.
- Plan K supplement-As is the case with CT, plan K is now a bit more attractive for those willing to have more out of pocket risk. Those interested in a plan K may want to look at the High Deductible F supplement offered by First United American
