Medicare Supplemental Insurance Comparison Done Right

Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plans work in conjunction with the traditional Medicare Plan. You must have Medicare Part A and Part B in order to be eligible for a Medicare Supplemental Insurance Plan. Your application will be accepted if you are 65 or older and apply within six months of your initial enrollment in Plan B of Medicare.

You select a plan when you are first eligible for Medicare. Each year, during the Annual Election Period from November 15 through December 31, you can review your health care and prescription drug needs and switch to a different plan.
