Estimate only — not medical or financial advice

  • This is a planning estimate, not a quote. Confirm exact premiums + plan options with Medicare.gov or a SHIP counselor before enrolling.
  • Medigap premiums vary by state and age — national Plan G average ($185/mo) used here. Your state's range may be $120–$300/mo.
  • MA out-of-pocket modeled at midpoint ($4,500/yr); actual depends on network, drugs, and care intensity. 2026 MA OOP max is ~$9,350.
  • Part B deductible $283 (2026) added to OOP. Coinsurance after deductible is mostly covered by Plan G (Medigap path).
  • IRMAA tier uses your 2024 MAGI. You can appeal IRMAA if you had a life-changing event (retirement, divorce, death of spouse).
