Current Supplement policy holders will be permitted to keep existing Insurance policies, however as of June, 2010 enrollment will cease into ALL current plans. Existing Medigap policies (Policy holders) will be partitioned into one group and all plans purchased after June will be segregated into new policy groups. It is not necessary to purchase one plan over another (purchase the one that fits) because all plans purchased after June 1st will be in the “New” plan policy design. However, it is uncertain which Supplement providers will offer the new plans N and M. Since most insurance carriers offer several plans it is important to shop around for the best price.

Another customer we talked to wishes she had purchased an AFLAC supplemental policy earlier. An AFLAC representative visited the school where she was teaching and although she was impressed with products, she thought she was too young at 26 to need them. A year later she was diagnosed with cancer and learned the hard way how fast medical bills and the incidentals such a gas money for travel and other supplies needed from bandages to electric blankets mount up. Of course AFLAC offers many products in addition to cancer indemnity products.

Another way that AFLAC is different is that it is portable. Even though you may enroll in AFLAC through an employer (or not) you pay your own premiums, or you can have them deducted from your paycheck and your insurance can go with you if you lose your job, change jobs or move. In today’s mobile world and in such a volatile employment climate, the portability of AFLAC insurance is a big plus.

AFLAC is well-liked for these good points, as well as others such as easy claim forms that are available online and the fact that AFLAC plans also pay for some preventative services that many traditional plans don’t pay for, but what about price? AFLAC is generally considered to have higher premiums than competitors but many feel that the ease, such as insurance without an exam, makes the cost worth it for an AFLAC supplemental policy.

Some people point out the frustration that you cannot buy an AFLAC supplemental insurance plan online which is common with many insurance companies but this may really be a plus since meeting with a representative can insure that you understand all of the details on the insurance products that you are purchasing.

In short, Medigap insurance coverage offers customized benefits to the aged senior citizens and all it takes is prudence and patience to choose the right Medigap coverages which cater to their long term care needs
