What Medigap does — and doesn't — cover
Think of Medigap as the layer that sits on top of Original Medicare to absorb the costs it leaves you: the deductibles, the 20% coinsurance, the copays that otherwise have no annual ceiling.
The catch that trips people up is that these plans are federally standardized — a Plan G from one insurer covers exactly what a Plan G from another does. So the letter defines the benefits, and price and service are what separate companies. Medigap doesn't include drug coverage, so most people in Rockwall, Texas pair it with a stand-alone Part D plan.
Below we break down what each standardized plan covers and the enrollment rights that matter most in Rockwall, Texas. It's a framework, not a ranking — and we don't quote premiums.
Medicare Supplement (Medigap)
The standardized Medigap plans in 2026
Medigap policies are standardized by federal law: a plan with a given letter covers the same benefits no matter which insurance company sells it. So the letter tells you what is covered — what differs between companies is price and service. Plans C and F are no longer available to people who became eligible for Medicare on or after January 1, 2020. This grid is a factual reference; it is not a ranking or a recommendation.

How people get Medicare in Rockwall County
(MA penetration in Rockwall County)
MA penetration from CMS enrollment data; Medigap share is an estimate. U.S. average is about 54% Medicare Advantage. These are area-level figures, not plan-specific.
The 2027 numbers, from shared to plan-specific
Start with what's fixed for everyone. The standard Part B premium is $202.9 per month in 2026 (2026 amount; 2027 figure will be posted when CMS releases it), and Part A is premium-free for most people who paid Medicare taxes long enough while working.
On the drug side, Part D has real guardrails for 2027: a deductible capped at $700 and, a hard $2,400 ceiling on your out-of-pocket costs for covered prescriptions — the old coverage gap is gone.
Higher earners pay more for Parts B and D through an income-related adjustment called IRMAA, which for 2026 starts above $109,000 in annual income for an individual and is based on your 2024 tax return. Most people fall below that line and pay the standard amounts. The 2027 brackets will be posted when CMS releases them.
Everything past that is plan-specific: the premiums, copays, and coverage details of an individual Advantage or Medigap plan change from plan to plan and year to year. Rather than quote or rank those, we point you to Medicare's Plan Finder and a licensed agent for your exact numbers.
