What Is The Average Cost Of Medicare Supp Insurance? 
The cost of a Medigap policy depends on which Medigap policy you want to apply for , your age , gender , tobacco usage -LRB- if any -RRB- , your zip code , and whether you 're married and applying together -LRB- for household discounts - available from some carriers -RRB- . In short , an average cost figure does n't mean much to the individual as the premiums can differ widely depending on where you are around the country and the other aforementioned factors . You want to compare prices from multiple companies when you 're shopping because Medigap plans are standardized , meaning the benefits are the exactly the same regardless of who you buy it from - the price is the only difference . You should consult with an independent agent who can shop your case among multiple companies and offer you the desired Medigap plan at the lowest possible cost . I hope the information is helpful - please feel free to contact me for help , including quotes and plan comparisons , and if you have any other questions . Thanks very much .
