Idaho Medicare Plans

Idaho Medicare plans have left over costs like deductibles, copays, coinsurance, and no out-of-pocket limits that make Medicare Advantage and supplements a savvy investment for Medicare beneficiaries.

These plans are offered by private insurance companies and we offer to shop these policies for you since some of them are standardized — meaning the only difference is price.

Idaho Medicare plans open enrollment

Medicare beneficiaries in Idaho are eligible for Medicare at age 65. Initial enrollment begins three months before your birth month and lasts three months after. During initial enrollment, you can also apply for Medicare Supplements.

Although you can enroll in a supplement at any time, initial enrollment is the best time to do so because you cannot be turned down due to your health.

Medigap Plans

Medicare Supplements in Idaho cover some or all of the deductibles and coinsurance left over by Original Medicare.

This can save you thousands of dollars because Medicare only covers about 80% of your outpatient expenses. Original Medicare also does not have any limits on out-of-pocket costs. A supplement would put a cap on your out-of-pocket spending.

Another overlooked feature is you are not limited to any networks and choose to see any doctor that accepts Medicare.

There are 10 plans lettered A through N that offer standardized coverage. This means all plans lettered the same have to offer the same coverage and the only difference is price. So, be sure to shop your coverage. Or, you can use our service to save you both time and money as we will do all the shopping for you!

After the end of 2019, new Medicare enrollees will no longer be able to select Medigap Plans C or F in Idaho. Beneficiaries who already have these plans will be able to keep them.

Because these plans are standardized by the federal government, the only difference will be in price. Be sure you have someone shopping the policy to make sure you’re getting the best deal.

Medicare Advantage plans

Idaho has up to 31 Medicare Advantage plans available, depending on what county you live in. Plans are available in 32 of the 44 counties. Also known as Medicare Part C plans, Medicare Advantage is a private Medicare plan that provides all Original Medicare benefits but also include extra benefits like dental, prescription drugs, and vision coverage.

Medicare Part D

While Original Medicare and Medicare Supplement plans don’t offer coverage for prescription drugs, there is an option to enroll in Medicare Part D. There are 26 Part D plans available in Idaho in 2019. If you don’t want to pay out-of-pocket for your prescriptions, be sure to look into Medicare Advantage or a standalone Part D plan.
