If you have ever googled Medicare Supplement Plans by State, you probably came away from the experience more confused about plan premium rates because the costs vary so much by state and even by city.
However, if you are looking for the Best Rates for Medicare Supplement Plans in Virginia, West Virginia and Maryland, then you will come away with a good idea on premium prices by city, in these three states. 
We are going to focus on rates for Medigap Plan F, Plan G and Plan N, which are the three most popular plans.
We’ll take a look at the premium cost differences by city in Virginia (VA) for the different supplement plans.
Finally, we will review the best rates for Medigap plans in West Virginia (WV) and Maryland (MD).
The Three Most Popular Medigap Plans: Plan F, Plan G and Plan N Comparison Chart
The majority of Medicare Supplement plans that are sold are the Plan F, Plan G, and Plan N.
Medicare Supplement Plan F will be discontinued at the end of 2019 and experts believe the premium rates will begin to increase more rapidly than Plan G and Plan N in the coming years.
As you can see on the Medicare Supplement Plan Comparison Chart, Plan G is nearly identical to Plan F, offering all the same coverage except you have to pay the Medicare Part B premium with Medicare Supplement Plan G.
Plan N offers very similar coverage, as shown on the Medigap Plan Comparison Chart, but the supplement insurance is less expensive because it does not provide as much coverage as Plan F or Plan G.
Medicare Supplement Plan N does not cover doctor excess charges and requires a co-insurance or co-payments when you visit the doctor or hospital.
