Percentage of companies with standardized Medigap policies by plan 2022

The enrollment data for this Figure do not include Medicare Supplement enrollment numbers reported by insurance providers to the California DMHC. The data for standardized policies include Medicare SELECT plans and those issued in three states (MA, MN, and WI) that received waivers from the standardized product provisions of OBRA 1990. The number of companies with standardized Medicare Supplement policies in force was 299 for 2021. All plans offering new coverage must offer Plan A. Plans E, H, I and J are no longer sold but some policyholders have retained their coverage for these plans.

Waivered States. Three states (Massachusetts, Minnesota, and Wisconsin) offer standardized Medicare Supplement plans but are exempt from the OBRA 1990 standardized plan provisions (and subsequent revisions under the MMA or MIPPA). Standardized plans may therefore be changed by waivered states without federal approval. Individuals who purchase Medicare Supplement plans in one of these three states may keep their plans if they move to other states.
