Comments on: Can I Switch Medicare Supplemental Plans? http://www.seniorcorps.org/medicare/can-i-switch-medicare-supplemental-plans/ Helping Seniors Help America Thu, 02 Feb 2012 14:49:35 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: E Fleenor http://www.seniorcorps.org/medicare/can-i-switch-medicare-supplemental-plans/#comment-8401 E Fleenor Tue, 22 Nov 2011 23:38:56 +0000 http://www.seniorcorps.org/?p=585#comment-8401 I agree with Ralph. 1. Medicare supplementl insurance, also known as Medigap is NOT subsidized. Its private insurance. Individuals ARE responsible for the full cost of the plan. 2. There is no "free" supplemental insurance [Medigap] and prices can exceed $200/mo. 3. Open enrollment between Nov & Jan does not apply to supplemental insurance [Medigap]. The article seems to be confusing it with Medicare Advantage [Part C] insurance. I agree with Ralph.

Individuals can change medicare supplement plans anytime they want. If out of a guaranteed issue medical underwriting will be required to qualify. Medicare supplements are a completely different program then Medicare advantage. I can't believe this garbage advice is posted. This website is horrible and full of false statements.
