How Medigap Pricing Works in Pennsylvania
Medigap premiums may rise differently depending on the pricing method insurers use. In Pennsylvania, plans may follow one of three models:
- Attained-age rated – Premiums increase as you age.
- Issue-age rated – Premiums are based on your age when you purchase the policy and may rise with inflation, not age.
- Community rated – Everyone pays the same premium, regardless of age.
Under-65 Eligibility in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania law requires insurers to offer at least one Medigap plan to Medicare beneficiaries under 65 who qualify due to disability or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Importantly, insurers cannot charge these policyholders higher premiums than those applied to age-65 beneficiaries — a consumer protection not available in many other states.
Choosing a Medigap Plan in Pennsylvania
Plan F remains the largest Medigap plan in Pennsylvania, though Plan G is gaining rapidly. Plan N stands out in the state for its unusually high enrollment, reflecting its appeal as a cost-saving alternative. Every Medigap policy can be used nationwide with providers who accept Medicare, ensuring Pennsylvania residents have consistent coverage whether they receive care in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or across the country.
