  • Of the ten plans offered, Cigna offers the best Medicare Supplement Plan G rates in Maine, with a monthly rate of $210 for the most all-inclusive coverage.
  • We also found Cigna offers the best Medicare Supplement Plan N pricing at $164 per month. This plan has the best value for beneficiaries who don’t mind trading certain benefits for lower monthly premiums.

When Can I Apply for a Medicare Supplement Plan?

When you first sign up for Medicare Part B, you will initiate a Medigap Open Enrollment Period. This period lasts six months and starts the first month you are 65 or older and have Part B coverage. This is the best time to enroll because beneficiaries have guaranteed issue rights. Guaranteed issue rights mean:

  • The insurer must provide coverage for the plan you choose.
  • The insurance company must cover pre-existing conditions.
  • Carriers cannot charge you more because of your health condition.

When Under 65

In Maine, disabled individuals under 65 also have an Open Enrollment Period when they first enroll in Part B. Then, they have another Open Enrollment Period when they turn 65.

Outside Open Enrollment - Special Enrollment Periods

Maine Medicare beneficiaries have a few other opportunities to join a supplement plan outside of open enrollment and still have guaranteed issue rights:

  • If you lose coverage for one of the following health plans and apply for a Medicare Supplement insurance plan within 90 days: Individual health plan, Group health coverage, MaineCare
  • If you change to another supplement plan that has equal or lesser benefits (you must not have had more than a 90-day gap in supplemental coverage since your Open Enrollment Period)

The guaranteed issue can be complicated. However, our licensed insurance agents can provide you with specific information about your situation.
