Supplement Premiums Are Rising! Stay Savvy, Here’s What You Can Do About It. If you’ve taken a look at your new Medicare Supplement premiums and felt a little “sticker shock,” you’re not alone. With rising rates across the board — including for drug plans — many people are reevaluating their coverage. There are lots of theories about why premiums are increasing, but the truth is: this has been a long time coming. The good news? You still have options — and no, switching to a Medicare Advantage Plan isn’t your only one. Are You on Plan F or Plan G? If you enrolled in Plan F or Plan G when you turned 65, you probably remember how affordable they were — and how comprehensive the coverage was. These were the “Cadillac” plans. But now, with higher premiums, it’s worth asking: is the cost still worth the coverage? Let’s explore your options: 1. Step Down to Plan N Plan N still offers solid coverage, but at a lower monthly premium. It’s a good middle ground for those who want to maintain flexibility without breaking the bank. 2. Consider a High Deductible Plan G This version of Plan G comes with a significantly lower premium, but you’ll have to meet a higher deductible before coverage kicks in. You can pair it with a critical illness or accident plan to help protect against unexpected costs — and still save money ov erall. 3. Take Advantage of the “One-Year Free Look” Not sure if an Advantage Plan is for you? You may be eligible for a one-time, one-year trial of an Advantage Plan with the option to return to a Supplement plan. This lets you try it out without locking yourself in.
