Is United Healthcare Medicare? 
United Healthcare is an insurance company that offers senior products including Medicare supplements and others - they are the largest insurance company in the industry . Medicare is a government-run senior health insurance program . Even though Medigap plans are standardized , it 's not all about price and there are many parts that are often overlooked/not considered when evaluating and comparing plans . UHC has an agreement with AARP to attach their name to certain products -LRB- a common one seen is AARP Medigap plans -RRB- . The great advantage with the AARP Medigap plans -LRB- insured through United Healthcare -RRB- is they use the community-rated pricing method as opposed to the attained-age method most Medigap carriers use . The community-rating states that everyone in a given group -LRB- e.g. zip code -RRB- pays the same rates regardless of age , meaning an 85 year old can be paying the same thing as a 75 year old -LRB- which means major savings over the long run -RRB- . They also offer some of the most lenient medical underwriting for Medigap plans so for individuals with complex medical histories , the UHC/AARP Medigap plans can be a great product for your health insurance needs . I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for help or if you have any other questions . Thanks very much .
