Medicare Supplement Plan Cost in Tennessee

65-year-olds in Tennessee pay an average of $209 per month for Medicare Supplement insurance across 10 standardized plan types. Premiums range from $115 per month for Plan K to $311 per month for Plan C.

Plan G averages $232 per month, Plan F averages $303 per month and Plan N averages $189 per month. Annual premiums range from $1,380 to $3,732 depending on the plan you choose.

A$194$2,328
B$241$2,892
C$311$3,732
D$194$2,328
F$303$3,636
G$232$2,784
K$115$1,380
L$174$2,088
M$135$1,620
N$189$2,268

Plan K and Plan C are not equivalent coverage. Plan C covers nearly everything Medicare approves, including the Part B deductible. Plan K requires you to pay 50% of most covered costs until you reach the annual out-of-pocket limit, then covers the rest. At $311 per month for Plan C and $115 monthly for Plan K, the $196 monthly gap is the largest price difference between any two plan types in MoneyGeek's Tennessee rate data.

How to Choose the Best Medicare Supplement Plan

After you select which plan type matches your needs, evaluate Tennessee Medicare Supplement companies on several criteria. Your health care habits, budget and preferences affect which insurer gives you the best value.

  1. 1
    Assess Your Health Care Needs

    Do you travel frequently? How often do you see doctors? More coverage costs more monthly but saves you money when you need care. If you have ongoing medical conditions requiring regular treatment, higher monthly premiums often cost less overall through lower out-of-pocket expenses. Low-use seniors (those who see a doctor a few times a year and take no regular medications) often find Plan K or Plan N costs less in total than Plan G, even though Plan G has broader coverage. 

    High-use seniors, or those managing chronic conditions, are usually better served by Plan G or Plan F's predictable out-of-pocket structure.

  2. 2
    Compare Plan Types

    Plan G offers the most coverage for new Medicare beneficiaries. Plan N provides similar benefits with lower premiums and copays of $20 for doctor visits and $50 for emergency room visits. Plan F, available only if you enrolled in Medicare before 2020, covers all out-of-pocket costs. Plans K and L cost less monthly but require you to pay a percentage of costs until you hit an annual limit. 

    Plans A, C and D cover basics with varying benefit levels. Plans B and M fill specific gaps between basic and comprehensive coverage.

  3. 3
    Get Quotes From Multiple Providers

    Get quotes from at least three companies to check competitive rates. Insurers charge different rates for identical coverage.

  4. 4
    Check Pricing Style

    Three pricing methods exist: Issue Age (locked at your enrollment age), Attained Age (rises as you age) and Community-Rated (same for everyone). Issue Age and Community-Rated plans save you money long-term.

  5. 5
    Check Company Ratings

    Check AM Best ratings for financial stability and customer satisfaction scores for service quality. Cheaper premiums aren't worth it if your insurer delays claims or provides poor service.

  6. 6
    Enroll During Open Enrollment

    Enroll during the six-month window starting when you turn 65 and sign up for Medicare Part B. You're guaranteed acceptance regardless of health conditions. Wait longer and insurers may charge more or deny coverage.

Our Methodology

MoneyGeek collected Tennessee Medicare Supplement data for 65-year-olds and 75-year-olds in 2026 using Medicare.gov's plan browsing tool, covering all available plan types across active Tennessee insurers. We weighted pricing style at 20% of the total score because Attained Age Pricing, used by most Tennessee insurers, compounds rate increases over time in a way that makes a lower starting premium less meaningful at 75 or 80 than it appears at 65.

We scored Tennessee 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: Community Pricing (1.0), Issue-Age Pricing (0.8) and Attained-Age Pricing (0.6). A community-rated plan with slightly higher costs can outscore a cheaper attained-age plan because community-rated premiums stay stable as you age.
  • Plan availability (30%): Insurers offering more plan types score higher. We weighted popular plans (G, F and N) more heavily in scoring.
