What is Medigap and how is it different from Medicare Advantage in Arizona?
Medigap is private insurance that works alongside Original Medicare (Parts A and B) to pay some of the deductibles, coinsurance and copayments Original Medicare does not. It is not Medicare Advantage. Medicare Advantage (Part C) replaces the way Original Medicare pays claims and bundles coverage through a private plan, often with its own network and its own drug coverage. Medigap does the opposite: you keep Original Medicare, see any provider that accepts Medicare, and the Medigap policy pays its share of what Medicare approves. You cannot be enrolled in both a Medicare Advantage plan and a Medigap policy at the same time.

What is the six-month Medigap Open Enrollment Period in Arizona and why does it matter?
A person's Medigap Open Enrollment Period is a one-time, six-month window that begins the month they are 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During that window, an insurer must sell any Medigap policy it offers at the same price it charges a healthy applicant, regardless of health history. Outside that window, in most situations, an insurer can use medical underwriting and may charge more or decline to sell a policy. This is the single most consequential date in Medigap for most Arizonans, so it is worth marking on the calendar when Part B begins.
What happens in Arizona if my Medicare Advantage plan is not returning in 2027?
According to CMS Landscape files, 21 Medicare Advantage plans offered somewhere in Arizona in 2026 will not be offered anywhere in the state in 2027. If your plan is one of them, you have a federal guaranteed-issue right to buy certain Medigap policies without medical underwriting, in addition to being able to pick a new Medicare Advantage or Part D plan during Annual Enrollment 2027 (October 15 – December 7, 2026). Guaranteed issue also applies in several other situations — for example, when a Medigap insurer goes bankrupt or when you move out of a plan's service area. Medicare.gov describes which plan letters you can buy and how long the right lasts.
Does Medigap cover prescription drugs in Arizona?
No. Medigap policies sold today do not include prescription drug coverage, so Arizonans with Medigap generally pair the policy with a stand-alone Medicare Part D drug plan. For 2027, the Part D out-of-pocket cap is $2,400 (up from $2,100 in 2026), the most any Part D plan may charge as a deductible is $700, and the Part D base beneficiary premium — a national figure used in the late-enrollment penalty calculation — is $41.33. Individual plan premiums are set plan by plan.
How should an Arizonan compare Medigap policies?
Start with the plan letter, then compare insurers offering that letter. Because the letter defines the benefits, the practical differences across insurers are things like price, rate-increase history, household discounts, customer service and whether the company uses underwriting for your situation. The Medicare Plan Finder at medicare.gov lets you pull up the companies licensed in your ZIP, and the plan's or insurer's own documents will show the policy details.
Where can Arizonans get free help with Medicare in 2027?
Medicare.gov is the official place to compare Medigap policies, Medicare Advantage plans and Part D drug plans side by side for your ZIP code. You can also call 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), which is staffed 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Social Security Administration announced on October 14, 2026 a 3.6 percent cost-of-living adjustment for benefits payable beginning January 2027, which will show up on January statements.
