Medicare Supplement Plan Options Michigan

Both Medicare Part A and Part B were designed to help retirees with their Michigan health insurance. If you choose to add Medicare Part B, it is wise to add your supplements within the first 6 months. During this time the Medigap program must accept you and any preexisting conditions, known as "guaranteed issue rights". In most cases, as long as you continue paying the premiums you cannot be cancelled. After the 6 months, if you decide you want a supplement policy, you can be turned down for pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, heart disease, or cancer.

Michigan Medicare Supplemental Health Insurance has a wide variety of plans and is organized alphabetically with each plan designated with a single letter.
