Trends in Plan Offerings, Enrollment, and Premiums in Medicare Advantage and Medigap
Despite modest changes in recent years, Medigap premiums were substantially higher than those of MA. Medigap offerings and enrollment are lower, and premiums are higher, in states with guaranteed issue and community ratings. Nuanced reforms are needed to reduce supplemental insurance costs in Traditional Medicare while preventing adverse selection in Medigap markets.
