Colorado Medicare beneficiaries who have a Medicare Supplement Plan C, F, or F+ should consider changing to a Plan D, G, or G+ between now and June 30, 2021 during a special enrollment period approved by the Colorado Division of Insurance.

Medicare beneficiaries on a Medicare Supplement Plan with Plan C, F or F+ may save money by switching plans, according to a recent announcement from the Colorado Gerontological Society (CGS).

The plans are not going away completely but many Medicare recipients currently enrolled in them may make the move to another plan, making them expensive for those who stay.

What could happen is similar to the premium escalation with beneficiaries who could have purchased a Part D plan in 2006, but who chose to keep their Plan J, rather than to enroll in Medicare Part D.
