Wisconsin Medicare Supplement Plans

There are more than 5.6 million people living in Wisconsin (2008 US Census Bureau estimate) and 13.3 % of these residents are over 65 years of age.  This is greater than the national average of 12.8% of US residents over 65.  If you are a member of this group and are receiving Social Security you were automatically enrolled in Medicare.  What you need to know is that Standard Medicare Insurance does not cover all your health care expenses.

Wisconsin Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans, also known as Wisconsin Medigap Insurance is private health insurance that is designed to supplement Standard Medicare Insurance. The Medicare Modernization Act (MMA) encouraged the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to modernize the Medigap insurance marketplace. NAIC developed a revised set of Medigap Insurance Plans.

These changes become effective from June 2010 and will delete some existing plans and add others. Wisconsin is one of three states that offer different options from the A-N plans.

Wisconsin Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans are Standardized

The state of Wisconsin received a waiver from the federal standardization regulations on Medicare supplement insurance.  This means that policies sold in Wisconsin are somewhat different from those available in other states.

Four standard Wisconsin Medigap policies are offered to Wisconsin residents on Medicare Insurance:

Basic Plan
Extended Basic Plan
Plan K
Plan L
Optional Riders may be added to the Basic Plan or the Extended Basic Plan:

Since Wisconsin Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans are standardized, you will get the same coverage for the same plan with any insurance company you choose.  Whether you choose Mutual of Omaha Basic Plan it provides the same coverage as a Blue Cross Blue Shield Basic, Humana Basic or any other company that offers Medigap coverage. As long as you choose the same plan, the only difference will be the cost. Premiums can vary by as much as 200% for the same coverage.

The Wisconsin Division of Insurance has a list of approved providers of Medigap plans.  These insurance companies are not required to offer all the available plans. Some offer only a few. This makes it critically important for you to look at multiple Medicare Supplement Insurance Companies to find the best price possible for the exact same coverage.
