Does Your Medicare Supplement Policy Pass The 60 Cent Test
In 1980 Congress set a standard that Medicare supplement policies return at least 60 cents in benefits per dollar paid. A GAO report in 1986 showed not all policies met it, Blue Cross often did. In South Carolina Blue Cross plans exceeded the standard by about a third. The 65 Plan from Blue Cross offers comprehensive or lower priced options, no health questions through Feb 29 1988, and automatic Medicare filing. The ad invites enrollment via toll free line or coupon for brochures and a comparison chart.
