An interesting note; Medicare premiums in the Chico area (Butte County) deductibles and copays adjust on an annual basis. The amount of increase in premiums is coordinated with the cost-of-living adjustment determined by the Social Security administration. So if Social Security does not make a cost-of-living adjustment, Medicare premiums cannot increase.

As a member of a Medicare Supplement plan you can switch to a different company or plan anytime during the year (if you qualify medically), so if you are currently in good health you can switch companies at anytime during the year.
In California you can switch Medicare Supplement companies yearly starting on your birthday and up to 30 days later, regardless of your current health status. California and Oregon are the only two states that offer the “Birthday Rule.”
So, if a different company offers your current plan at a lower rate, you can request to change now, or wait until your birth month and switch then. It’s that easy.
A few things to remember:
- At Home Recovery Benefit – Medicare pays 100% of all approved amounts with the exception of durable medical equipment, in which case Medicare Pays 80%.
