Plan Type
The most significant factor is the plan type that you choose. For example, the monthly premium of a plan type "F" is going to be significantly higher than the monthly premium of a "high deductible plan type F". This is because each Medicare supplement plan type offers a different benefit structure. All supplement plans are designed to cover medical costs that are not covered by traditional Medicare. However, some plans pick up more medical costs than others. These benefit differences are reflected in monthly premium.
Age
With very few exceptions, the older you are, the higher your monthly premium.
Good to know: Ask whether tests, prescriptions or procedures are really necessary. The latest drugs aren't always better than older, cheaper drugs - just more expensive. If you tell the doctor you're paying cash, he/she may suggest you wait to see if the condition resolves before ordering an expensive test. Instead of paying for 20 sessions of physical therapy, pay for one and learn exercises to do at home.
