Policy terms. Premera Blue Cross Medicare Supplement policies are guaranteed renewable, as all Medigap policies are. This insurer may apply a pre-existing condition waiting period of up to three months (none if you replace coverage you've had for three months), and may ask health questions outside guaranteed-issue periods. Medigap policies don't cover prescription drugs, routine dental, vision or hearing care, hearing aids, or long-term custodial care. Plans C and F are only for people first eligible for Medicare before 2020. For the policy form number, premiums, complete benefits, exclusions and limitations, see the insurer's outline of coverage, which you receive before you apply.
Buying Premera Medigap in Pend Oreille County
Premera Blue Cross is one of the insurers approved to sell Medicare Supplement policies in Washington.

Because it sells both Plan G and Plan N, you can compare the two side by side from one insurer: same company and service, different premium and cost-sharing. Its premium for a plan is the same for every policyholder 65 and older under Washington's community rating rule, so a quote for a Pend Oreille County resident is the same as one for a resident anywhere else it sells.
