How Medigap Pricing Works
Medigap pricing methods determine how your premiums may change over time. Iowa policies typically use one of three models:
- Attained-age rated – Premiums increase as you get older.
- Issue-age rated – Premiums are based on your age at purchase and may rise due to inflation, not due to aging.
- Community rated – Everyone pays the same premium regardless of age.
