Medigap plans available under 65 y.o. inMA?

[Guest guest]

I have a possible patient coming in for a consult who would like to possibly

change his insurance from BC/BS of MA to Medicare/Medigap plan. He is having

difficulties finding a Medigap plan for under 65 years old. Any ideas? Thanks in

advance.

Is it a pt with ESRD? If so I have had some luck with Banker's Life and Casualty

providing to those under 65 on dialysis.

Robin,

If you go into medicare.gov, and go into picking a medigap policy. When you put in the zip code it will bring you into all the plans available and tell you if it will cover those under 65 etc... I believe AARP has a plan also.

What state are you located in? If you are in a state that does not require

insurance companies to offer at least one kind of Medigap policy to people w/

Medicare under age 65 then you can always contact the state health insurance

assistance program to see what is available.
