How Medigap Pricing Works in Virginia
Premiums for Medigap coverage can vary depending on the pricing method used by insurers. In Virginia, plans may follow one of three rating models:
- Attained-age rated – Premiums increase as you age.
- Issue-age rated – Premiums are based on your age at the time of purchase and may rise with inflation, not age.
- Community rated – Everyone pays the same premium, regardless of age.
Under-65 Eligibility in Virginia
Virginia requires insurers to offer at least one Medigap plan to beneficiaries under 65 who qualify for Medicare due to disability or end-stage renal disease (ESRD). The state also places restrictions on how these premiums can be priced, providing protections for younger beneficiaries.
Choosing a Medigap Plan in Virginia
While Plan F remains the most popular choice, Plan G has grown quickly as new enrollees look for strong, comprehensive coverage. Plan N also offers a lower-cost option with modest cost-sharing. All Medigap plans are accepted nationwide at providers that take Medicare, ensuring Virginia residents have coverage whether they receive care in Richmond, Norfolk, or across the country.
