best Medicare Supplement for people with COPD
COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) is one of the most common chronic conditions among Medicare beneficiaries. During your Open Enrollment Period, you have guaranteed issue rights — insurers cannot deny coverage or charge more based on COPD. Outside OEP, COPD may affect underwriting.
What You Need to Know
- Guaranteed issue during your 6-month Open Enrollment Period
- COPD severity affects underwriting outside OEP — mild COPD is often insurable
- Medicare covers pulmonary rehabilitation and many COPD-related services
- Plan G covers hospitalizations and specialist visits at 100% after the Part B deductible
- Some carriers are more lenient on stable COPD than others
The Patriot Plans Difference
Patriot Plans is 100% independent. We work for you — not the insurance companies. When you have a health condition, finding the right carrier is critical. Different carriers have very different underwriting guidelines for the same condition. An independent agent who knows the market can often find coverage that a direct-to-carrier application would miss. We've helped 400,000+ families find the right coverage — including thousands with pre-existing conditions.
