| Effective 6-1-2010 the new Modern Medicare Supplements went into effect. All plans written with that effective date or later are being written on the new forms. Not much changed for the most popular plan, F, but we have new plans M&N.
I am not going to dismiss Plan M as a alternative to Plan F but with N you can possibly save money vs a Plan F is you do not use your Medicare coverage. The biggest item that must be considered is that you will have to pay your own Medicare B deductible and a co-pay not to exceed $20.00 for every Dr. visit there after. You will also need to pay a $50.00 for every emergency room visit.
Both Mutual of Omaha and BlueCross and BlueShield are writing Plan N. The great appeal with Mutual of Omaha you have just one health question and with BlueCross and BlueShield no health questions. Below are the new rates for areas outside of the Chicago area.

| Yes, I can write BlueCross and BlueShield Medicare Supplements on applicants age 80+. The rate for any one age 80-84 for Plan F is currently $234.00, while age 85+ is $241 per month.

There is a 7% discount for each person in a 2-person household. No requirement that you be of opposite sex, married, related or etc. Just have lived together for the last 12 months. You do not even have to apply together at the same time.
Unicare and Constitution Life have both gotten too high to even consider for a Medicare Supplement. If you have either you need to contact me ASAP so that I can get you a different plan the next time your plan sends you a bill. If you pay monthly call me and I'll get you a cheaper plan right now.
