Bankers Life introduces new set of Medicare supplement insurance plans

Bankers Life, a national life and health insurance brand that focuses on the insurance needs of Americans who are near or in retirement, announced today a new set of Medicare Supplement insurance plans that better addresses consumers' health care needs.

"These plans are great for consumers who value the freedom to choose their own providers and gain access to services," said Scott Goldberg, president of the Consumer Division. "With health care costs continuing to rise, our enhanced Medicare Supplement offerings will help protect consumers against unexpected expenses and minimize the financial burden."

Through its new offering of GenHealthy Medicare Supplement Plans A, F, G, High-G and N, consumers have additional flexibility to choose their doctors, specialists, and hospitals through the traditional Medicare system. These plans are open to both current beneficiaries and those who are newly eligible to Medicare (with the exception of Plan F, which is available to individuals eligible for Medicare prior to January 1, 2020.)

Our new offering includes the most popular Plan G and Plan N:

• Plan G is the most comprehensive plan available to new Medicare beneficiaries
• Plan N has co-pays and can be an attractive alternative to many Medicare Advantage plans
