Plan F vs Plan G: Probability and mathematics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\nComparing Medicare supplement plans between insurance companies is easy because plans are standardized. The Plan F benefits will be the same no matter which company you take a look at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Once you have found the lowest premiums for these two plans you need to do the math. It’s mostly about the numbers because the probability of requiring outpatient (Part B) services is fairly high. Most years you will probably need services and would need to you pay the full deductible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The difference between the annual premiums is the key. If the annual premium for Plan F is $147 or more than Plan G, you should choose Plan G. If it’s less, choose Plan F. The exception to this is if you have a crystal ball and know that you will never need outpatient services for the year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may find that the point is somewhat mute because insurance companies are not going to earn a smaller margin on one plan or the other unless they have some solid actuarial data indicating a variation in claims experience between the two plans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Choosing between Medicare supplement Plan F and Medicare supplement Plan G may come down to your general philosophy about insurance. If you want to purchase and forget about it; get Plan F. If you want to bet on not using covered outpatient services; buy Plan G. You really can’t go wrong with either one.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
