Our agency has an insurance specialist who helps people find and compare Medigap policies. The person seeking information should check with their local Area Agency on Aging to see if it has a similar service, or if their state government has a department of insurance that may be able to direct them to information. There is a wide price range for Medigap insurance, but the government requires that all Medigap policies offer the same features from one company to the next. Medigap policies are categorized alphabetically. We have found that the AARP has competitive prices and does not exclude people because of medical conditions, but you should compare their rates to other companies' rates.
Prices vary from state to state.

Then come the middle and high-grade paints. They are both fairly equal as to the quality.
