​You might be wondering how your age affects your medicare supplement premiums. Medicare Supplement Premiums help pay for out-of-pocket costs.

You'll find out how age affects your premiums as you read along. But first, let us define what Medicare Supplement Insurance is.
What is Medicare Supplement Insurance?
Medicare Supplement Insurance or Medigap is a plan that might cover costs related to health care that the Original Medicare does not cover. The costs that it might cover are as follows:
  • Deductibles
  • Co-insurance
  • Co-payments 
  • Blood transfusion costs

Medicare Supplement Insurance helps cover the gaps in Medicare coverage. 

Does Age Affect Medicare Supplement Premiums?
Yes, age affects Medicare supplement premiums along with several factors that might affect the cost of medicare supplement premiums. The following are:
  • Your location
  • Health status
  • Gender 
  • Age 

Medigap Policies are priced in 3 different ways.
No age-rated
It is also known as a community-rated plan. Here, premiums charged are the same for everyone regardless of their age. No age-rated means your premium is not based on your age. Premiums might go up due to other factors such as inflation. It is also the least expensive one over your lifetime.

Issue age-rated 
Also known as entry age-rated, your premium is priced based on the age when you first purchased the plan. Generally, premiums are lower for the people who bought at a young age. Your premiums won't increase even as you age with an issue-age-rated plan. But note that premiums might still increase due to inflation. 

Attained age-rated
It means your premiums are based on your current age. As you get older, your premiums gradually increase too. These premiums are also considered to be the most expensive over your lifetime. It can also rise due to inflation and other factors.
