The Best Texas Medicare Supplement Plans (2023)

On average, Medicare Supplement plans cost $135 per month for 65-year-olds and $212 per month for 75-year-olds. Due to their comprehensive coverage, the most popular plans are Plan F (which costs an average of $201 per month) and Plan G ($145 per month). However, Plan F is only available to those who were eligible for Medicare before 2020.

Plan N is the next most popular plan, with an average cost of $110 per month. This plan offers similar coverage but does not address Part B deductibles or excess charges.

MoneyGeek’s methodology for comparing Medicare Supplement plans in Texas focused on the average premiums and benefits of these three plans to determine the best options. If you’d like to learn more about the different types of plans and coverage, see how to pick the best Medicare Supplement plan.

Aetna offers the best Medigap Plan G in Texas at an average cost of $135 per month. Note, however, that MoneyGeek only ranked companies that provided online quotes. There may be Medicare Supplement plan providers in Texas who do not have online quotes that offer better rates and plans for your needs.

Forty-seven providers offer Plan G in Texas, but not all show online quotes. To help you find one that fits your needs, MoneyGeek collected the contact information for all Medicare Supplement plan providers in Texas. MoneyGeek also lays out the pricing methods of each provider so you can see which may charge more depending on your age.

Regardless of the plan, all Medigap policies follow a standard and must meet specific coverage requirements.

Depending on your provider, you might receive additional benefits outside of the standard offer, such as Aetna’s Foreign Travel Emergency.

All Medigap plans have different levels of coverage — a plan may cover some or all coinsurance or deductibles. The availability of some plans depends upon when you became eligible for Medicare. Generally, Plan F and Plan C are the most comprehensive plans, but these are no longer available to new enrollees as they’ve been replaced by Plan G and Plan D.

Use the chart below to compare coverages and average rates across various Medicare Supplement plans.

The cost of a Medigap plan varies based on the plan type and provider. The most affordable company for most plan types in Texas is Aetna, but UnitedHealthcare offers the most affordable rates for Plans K and L.

Rates can also vary based on pricing style:

• Attained-Age: This is the most common pricing style among providers in Texas. With this pricing style, providers base premiums on your current age (or the age you’ve “attained”). This means that as you grow older, your rates will increase.
• Issue-Age: This is where providers base premiums on the age you are when you buy your plan. This is the next most common pricing plan in Texas.
• Community-Rated: Community-rated plans are where providers charge the same monthly premium regardless of age.
