Original Medicare covers a lot — but the gaps it leaves behind can add up quickly. Copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles create unpredictable out-of-pocket costs that make budgeting for healthcare difficult. Medicare Supplement insurance, also known as Medigap, is designed to fill those gaps and give Mesquite residents more financial predictability throughout the year.
Nevada Medicare helps you compare pricing across 30+ carriers, evaluate rate increase histories, and choose the Medigap plan that best fits your health needs and long-term budget — at no cost to you.
Medigap plans are sold by private insurance companies but are standardized and regulated by the federal government. That means the benefits for each plan letter are identical regardless of which company you buy from — the only difference between carriers is the monthly premium.
Mesquite residents currently have access to all 10 standardized Medigap plan letters. Key things to know:
Nevada Medicare can provide free personalized assistance and show you a solution that gives you peace of mind. Our Customer Care Team stands ready to help you with any topic.
The best time to enroll in a Medigap plan is during your Medicare Supplement Open Enrollment Period — a 6-month window that begins the month you turn 65 and are enrolled in Medicare Part B. During this period:
***If you miss this window, you may still apply — but insurers can require medical underwriting, meaning they can charge more or decline your application based on pre-existing conditions. Acting during your open enrollment period protects your options and locks in the most favorable rates.

Not all Medigap carriers are equal — and the premium for the same plan letter can vary significantly from one company to the next. NevadaCare works with more than 30 Medigap carriers serving Mesquite and Clark County, including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Humana, Mutual of Omaha, Transamerica, and UnitedHealthcare.
One important consideration for Mesquite residents: because Mesquite is a smaller market near the Utah border, it’s especially important to verify that your chosen carrier has strong local presence and a history of stable rate increases in the area. NevadaCare reviews both current pricing and long-term rate trends to help you make a truly informed decision.
