What is Medigap and how is it different from Medicare Advantage in Michigan?
Medigap is private insurance that works alongside Original Medicare (Parts A and B) to help pay some of the out-of-pocket costs Original Medicare leaves behind, such as coinsurance and copayments. It is sold by private insurers using plan designs standardized by the federal government and labeled with letters.
Medicare Advantage (Part C) is a different product: it replaces the way you get Original Medicare, often bundles drug coverage, and uses plan networks. You cannot use a Medigap policy with a Medicare Advantage plan. In Michigan, as in other states, people choose one path or the other for how their Medicare is delivered, and Medigap sits on the Original Medicare path.
Which insurers and Medigap plan letters are listed for Michigan in 2027?
Medicare.gov's Medigap policy search lists 28 insurers for ZIP code 48201, and across those insurers the plan letters offered are A, B, C, D, F, F-HD, G, G-HD, K, L and N. What any individual sees can differ by ZIP code and by age, sex and tobacco use, and Plans C and F are closed to people newly eligible for Medicare on or after January 1, 2020.
The insurers listed, with the plan letters shown for each, are:
- AARP – UnitedHealthcare Insurance Company: A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, N

Because the letters are standardized federally, Plan G from one Michigan insurer covers the same federally defined benefits as Plan G from another; what can differ between insurers is price, customer service and underwriting practices.
When is the Medigap Open Enrollment Period in Michigan and why does it matter?
The Medigap Open Enrollment Period is a one-time, six-month window that starts the month you are both 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. During that window a Michigan resident can buy any Medigap policy sold in the state without medical underwriting — the insurer cannot deny coverage or charge more based on health history.
Outside that window, insurers in most situations can use medical underwriting to decide whether to sell you a policy and at what price. That is why the six-month window matters so much: it is the one period where health status does not change your options.
What happens if my Medicare Advantage plan leaves Michigan for 2027?
According to CMS Landscape files, 39 Medicare Advantage plans offered in Michigan in 2026 will not be offered anywhere in the state in 2027. Members of a plan that is not returning get a federal guaranteed-issue right to buy certain Medigap plans, meaning insurers must sell them specified policies without medical underwriting within set timeframes.
Guaranteed-issue rights also apply in other situations defined by federal rule, such as losing certain kinds of employer or union coverage. Medicare.gov lists which Medigap plan letters are available under each guaranteed-issue scenario and how long the window lasts.
Does Medigap in Michigan cover prescription drugs?
No. Medigap policies sold today do not include prescription drug coverage, so Michiganders on Original Medicare who want drug coverage enroll in a stand-alone Medicare Part D plan separately. The Annual Enrollment Period to pick or change a Part D plan for 2027 is October 15 through December 7, 2026, with coverage effective January 1, 2027.
Nationally, the Part D out-of-pocket cap is $2,400 in 2027 (up from $2,100 in 2026), the maximum Part D deductible any plan may charge in 2027 is $700, and the Part D base beneficiary premium used in the late-enrollment penalty calculation is $41.33 for 2027. Individual plan premiums are set plan by plan.
How do I compare Medigap policies in Michigan?
Start on Medicare.gov's Medigap policy search, which lets you enter your ZIP code and see the insurers and standardized plan letters available in your area. Because the benefits inside each letter are identical across insurers, comparison shopping largely comes down to price, the insurer's customer service and billing practices, and how the insurer handles rate increases over time.
Request the official outline of coverage from any insurer you are considering, and ask how premiums are structured (for example, how they may change as you age). Insurers' own documents, 1-800-MEDICARE and Medicare.gov are the authoritative sources for benefits, pricing structure and company information.
Where can Michiganders get free help with Medicare for 2027?
Medicare.gov and 1-800-MEDICARE (TTY 1-877-486-2048) are the two no-cost official starting points, available 24 hours a day, seven days a week. The Medicare Plan Finder on Medicare.gov is also where you compare Part D and Medicare Advantage plans side by side.
The Social Security Administration announced on October 14, 2026 a 3.6 percent cost-of-living adjustment for benefits payable beginning January 2027. The 2027 Part B standard premium and deductible and the 2027 IRMAA income brackets had not been announced at publication; CMS typically releases those figures in the fall.
