Factors That Influence Plan G Costs

Even though Medigap plans are standardized (same benefits across all states), premiums vary. Key factors include:

  • Age: Older beneficiaries often pay more under attained-age pricing.
  • Enrollment Timing: Enrolling during your Medigap Open Enrollment Period avoids medical underwriting.
  • Pricing Model:
    • Community-rated – same price regardless of age
    • Issue-age-rated – based on age when first enrolled
    • Attained-age-rated – premiums increase as you age
  • Location: State-specific pricing differences can be dramatic.
  • Other factors: Gender, tobacco use, and inflation-related adjustments.

Standard vs. High-Deductible Plan G

Plan G comes in two versions:

  • Standard Plan G: Average $155.33/month in 2025.
  • High-Deductible Plan G: Lower premiums (average $57.92/month), but requires a $2,870 deductible before coverage begins.
