Original Medicare covers a lot — but the gaps it leaves behind can add up quickly. Copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles can 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 Reno residents more financial predictability throughout the year.
Nevada Medicare helps you compare pricing across 30+ carriers serving northern Nevada, evaluate rate increase histories, and choose the Medigap plan that best fits your health needs and long-term budget.
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.
Nevada currently offers all 10 standardized Medigap plan letters. Key things Reno residents should 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 for a Medigap plan — 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. Nevada Medicare works with more than 30 Medigap carriers serving Reno and the greater Washoe County area, including Aetna, Anthem, Cigna, Humana, Mutual of Omaha, Transamerica, and UnitedHealthcare.
When comparing plans, we look beyond just today’s premium. A carrier’s rate increase history matters just as much — a low starting premium from a company with a pattern of large annual increases can end up costing significantly more over time. Nevada Medicare reviews both current pricing and long-term rate trends to help Reno residents make truly informed decisions.

Medicare Supplement and Medicare Advantage are two different approaches to covering what Original Medicare doesn’t. Here’s a quick comparison to help Reno residents decide:
| Medigap | Medicare Advantage | |
|---|---|---|
| Monthly Premium | Higher | Lower (sometimes $0) |
| Network Restrictions | None — see any Medicare provider | Usually requires in-network providers |
| Out-of-Pocket Costs | Very predictable | Varies by plan and usage |
| Extra Benefits | Not included | Often includes dental, vision, hearing |
| Part D Coverage | Sold separately | Often bundled |
Neither option is universally better — it depends on your doctors, health needs, medications, and budget. Nevada Medicare helps Reno residents compare both paths side by side so you can choose with full confidence.
