At the Benefit Link we work with great insurance companies offering Medicare Supplement plans for North Carolina residents.
Many offer the most popular plans like Plan F and Plan G. Let us assist with the basics. North Carolina Medicare Plans include 10 standardized options, lettered A – N. Each insurance company must offer at least Plan A, but companies can offer any of the other plans as well.
Our agency works with some of the best North Carolina Medicare Plan F and Plan G insurance companies, such as Aetna, Bankers Fidelity, Blue Cross Blue Shield, Cigna, Humana, Mutual of Omaha, and Transamerica.

North Carolina Medicare plans are offered by a wide variety of insurance companies. Fortunately for residents, the 10 plans offered are those that have been outlined by the federal government. All North Carolina Medicare supplement companies who choose to sell these plans must ensure that the benefits in each plan match the federal mandate. This allows you to choose a plan with confidence, knowing exactly what you will get.
People in North Carolina can choose the set of benefits that they like best. Each Medicare standardized supplement includes a specific set of benefits. You can choose a policy that covers just the very basics, like Medicare supplement Plan A.
You can also choose a richer plan such as a North Carolina Medicare Supplement Plan F, Medigap Plan covers not only the basics, but also the hospital and outpatient deductibles and excess charges and even foreign travel benefits.
To be eligible for North Carolina Medicare supplements, you must live in the plan’s service area. Since Medigap plans are secondary to Medicare, you must also be enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B. When a provider bills Medicare for your healthcare services, Medicare will pay its share. Then it will send the remainder on to your North Carolina Medicare supplement company so they can pay their share.
Currently the state legislature only requires Medicare supplement companies to offer Plans A and F to people under 65.
North Carolina Medigap plans can often be quite costly if you are on Medicare disability. This is because the insurance companies know that to qualify for Medicare early, you must have a health condition or injury. The insurance company assumes you will have more medical claims than someone who has qualified for Medicare just due to turning 65.
Also, people under age 65 on Medicare tend to have more claims, so the insurance companies incur higher losses. This drives the rate up. The Medicare supplemental plans in NC for people under 65 can quickly become unaffordable.
For this reason, a North Carolina Medicare Advantage plan might be a more affordable option. North Carolina Medicare Advantage plans have an annual enrollment period each year during which you can join one. To be eligible, you must have Medicare Part A and Part B and lives in the plan service area.
There is only one health question about End Stage Renal Disease (ESRD) on Medicare Advantage plan applications. As long as you do not have ESRD, you are eligible.
