Medicare Supplement Plan N is Rising in Popularity

As an insurance agent, Medicare Supplement Plan N is an excellent option to offer due to its balance between coverage and affordability, making it attractive for many Medicare beneficiaries. Here’s how to effectively position its benefits for your clients:

Benefits of Medicare Supplement Plan N

1. Lower Premiums: Compared to other Medicare Supplement plans, such as Plan G, Plan N typically offers lower monthly premiums, making it a cost-effective option for clients who want coverage without the highest price tag.

2. Comprehensive Coverage: Plan N covers many key areas, including Medicare Part A coinsurance and hospital costs, skilled nursing facility care coinsurance, and emergency care in foreign travel situations. It’s ideal for clients who want robust coverage with a few manageable out-of-pocket costs.

3. Modest Cost-Sharing: Unlike other plans, Plan N requires a small copayment for certain services—typically around $20 for doctor visits and up to $50 for emergency room visits that don’t result in admission. This modest cost-sharing helps keep premiums lower while still offering comprehensive support.

4. Freedom to Choose Providers: Like all Medicare Supplement plans, Plan N allows beneficiaries to choose any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare, providing flexibility and security in accessing care.

Positioning Plan N for Clients

To best position Plan N, consider your client's healthcare needs, financial situation, and lifestyle.

1. Emphasize Affordability: For clients concerned about monthly costs, highlight that Plan N’s premiums are lower than some other Medicare Supplement options, making it ideal for those who want savings without sacrificing coverage.

2. Explain the Cost-Sharing Aspect: Some clients may appreciate that Plan N offers lower premiums in exchange for occasional, predictable copayments. If your client is comfortable with the idea of small out-of-pocket payments for doctor and ER visits, they’ll likely find Plan N’s value appealing.

3. Appeal to Budget-Conscious Clients Seeking Flexibility: Clients who don’t frequently visit doctors or prefer to manage predictable out-of-pocket expenses in exchange for a lower premium may find Plan N to be the ideal balance between coverage and savings.

4. Address Lifestyle Needs: For clients who travel internationally or seasonally, mention the foreign travel emergency coverage feature. It offers peace of mind for clients who spend time abroad or in different parts of the country.

Sample Positioning Statement

"Plan N offers excellent value with broad coverage and lower premiums, making it a great choice for those who prefer to manage predictable, low copayments while maintaining the flexibility to choose any doctor or hospital that accepts Medicare.

By positioning Plan N as a practical, budget-friendly choice with comprehensive support, you can guide clients toward a decision that aligns with both their healthcare needs and financial goals.
