Medicare Supplement Plan Cost in New Jersey

How to Choose the Best Medicare Supplement Plan

Pick the Medicare Supplement plan type that fits the care you expect, then the cheapest financially stable insurer that sells it.

  1. 1
    Assess Your Health Care Needs

    How often do you see doctors? Plan G averages $243 a month at age 65, $134 more than Plan K, but Plan K pays only half of the Part A deductible and Part B coinsurance until you reach an annual out-of-pocket maximum.

  2. 2
    Compare Plan Types

    Plan G covers everything Plan F does except the Part B deductible and is the fullest plan new enrollees can buy. Plan N averages $50 less a month but charges copays and doesn't cover Part B excess charges, the amount above Medicare's approved rate that some doctors bill. Plans C and F are sold only to people eligible for Medicare before Jan. 1, 2020. Plans A, B, D, K, L and M cover less than Plan G, and none of them pays Part B excess charges.

  3. 3
    Get Quotes From Multiple Providers

    Each plan letter pays the same benefits at every insurer. At 65, Bankers Fidelity's Plan G costs $83 a month less than the state Plan G average. Get quotes from at least three insurers.

  4. 4
    Check Pricing Style

    Attained age pricing raises your premium as you age, issue age pricing sets it by your age at purchase and community rating charges everyone the same regardless of age. All three can rise with medical costs. At 65, Mutual of Omaha's attained-age Plan A costs $129 a month, compared with $175 for Transamerica's issue-age Plan A.

  5. 5
    Check Company Ratings

    Check AM Best ratings for financial strength. Mutual of Omaha holds an A+ rating, Bankers Fidelity and Philadelphia American hold A- and LifeShield National holds B++.

  6. 6
    Enroll During Open Enrollment

    Your six-month Medigap open enrollment period starts the month you're 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. Insurers can't deny you or charge more for your health during it, though they can delay coverage of a pre-existing condition if you didn't have health coverage before Medicare.   

    Afterward, they can deny you or charge more unless you have a guaranteed issue right, a federal rule that applies in specific situations such as losing employer coverage.

New Jersey Medicare Resources

New Jersey residents can get free help with Medicare from four resources.

  • New Jersey State Health Insurance Assistance Program (SHIP): Trained volunteer counselors give free, confidential help comparing Medicare Supplement, Medicare Advantage and Part D plans and spotting insurance fraud. SHIP also publishes New Jersey Medigap rate charts by company, plan and sex, updated during the year.
  • New Jersey Department of Banking and Insurance: The state regulator reviews Medigap rate filings, investigates complaints about insurers and answers coverage and billing questions through its consumer hotline.
  • New Jersey Area Agencies on Aging: Each county's agency offers Medicare enrollment help, benefits counseling and referrals to caregiver and health programs for older adults.
  • Medicare.gov: The federal site's plan finder lists the Medigap policies sold in your ZIP code with price ranges and explains enrollment periods and coverage rules.

Medicare Supplement Plans in New Jersey: FAQ

Our Methodology

MoneyGeek collected New Jersey Medicare Supplement data for 65-year-olds and 75-year-olds using Medicare.gov's plan browsing tool. Unless otherwise noted, this article references quotes for 65-year-olds.
These are sample monthly quotes. Premiums also vary by sex and ZIP code, and New Jersey insurers can raise rates during the year with state approval.

We scored New Jersey Medigap companies across three categories to create a weighted score out of 5:

  • Affordability (50%): Lower monthly premiums earn higher scores.
  • Pricing style (20%): We scored pricing methods based on long-term stability and fairness, with community rating highest, then issue age, then attained age. A community-rated plan with slightly higher costs can outscore a cheaper attained-age plan because community-rated premiums don't rise because you get older.
  • Plan availability (30%): Insurers offering more plan types score higher. We weighted popular plans (G, F and N) more heavily in scoring.

Each category is scored out of 5, and the three weighted category scores add up to the overall MoneyGeek rating. Plan-type averages are the average monthly rate across the insurers we quoted for each plan.
