Medigap plans are approved state wide vs specific service areas. Policies are available in 10 standardized benefit plans, identified by certain letters between A and N. Companies are not required to sell all 10 plans, those they sell meet the Medicare standardized requirements. During initial eligibility for Medicare insurance, these policies must be guaranteed to be issued. (Regardless of pre-existing conditions)
