What is the cheapest Medigap Plan G in Michigan?

The lowest Medigap Plan G premium in Michigan is about $113/month, across 38 carriers that offer Plan G in the state (the median is about $183/month). Because Plan G is standardized by the federal government, every carrier's Plan G covers exactly the same benefits — so the smart move is to buy the lowest-priced Plan G from a financially strong carrier. Your exact premium depends on your age, ZIP code, sex, and tobacco use.

What the lowest Plan G rates in Michigan look like in plain terms

The lowest-priced Plan G carriers in Michigan are Michigan Farm Bureau Health Plans at $113 per month, McLaren Health Plan Inc (Guaranteed Issue) at $139 per month, and McLaren Health Plan Inc (Tier 1) at $139 per month. Each figure is the lowest premium that carrier currently files in Michigan; your own premium depends on your age, ZIP code, sex, and tobacco use.

Across the 38 carriers selling Plan G in Michigan, the lowest premium is $113 per month and the median is $183 per month. That is a gap of $70 a month — about $840 a year — between the cheapest Plan G in Michigan and a middle-of-the-road one, for coverage that is identical by federal law. Comparing carriers in Michigan is the only thing that closes that gap.

What Plan G covers in Michigan

Medigap Plan G is standardized: a Plan G sold in Michigan covers exactly what a Plan G sold anywhere else does, whatever the carrier charges. It works alongside Original Medicare (Parts A and B) and cannot be paired with a Medicare Advantage plan. In 2026 a Plan G in Michigan pays:

• Your Part A hospital deductible — $1,736 per benefit period in 2026, which can apply more than once in a year
• Part A hospital coinsurance, plus 365 additional days after Medicare's end
• The 20% Part B coinsurance that Original Medicare leaves you to pay
• Skilled nursing facility coinsurance — $217 per day for days 21–100 in 2026
• Part B excess charges, if a provider bills above the Medicare-approved amount
• The first three pints of blood, and Part A hospice coinsurance
• Foreign travel emergency care at 80%, up to the policy limits

Plan G does not cover the annual Part B deductible — $283 in 2026 — which you pay yourself before Plan G begins. That single deductible is the only benefit difference between Plan G and the discontinued Plan F. Plan G also does not cover prescription drugs, so most people in Michigan add a separate Part D plan.

A Plan G premium in Michigan is on top of your Part B premium, which is $202.90/month in 2026 for most people and is paid to Medicare, not to the Medigap carrier. Budget for both.

Why Plan G premiums differ so much between carriers in Michigan

Because the benefits are fixed by law, carriers in Michigan compete only on price, service, and how steeply they raise rates later. What you are quoted in Michigan moves with your age, your ZIP code, your sex, and whether you use tobacco. Carriers also choose how a premium rises over time: community-rated (everyone pays the same regardless of age), issue-age (fixed to your age when you bought it), or attained-age (rises as you get older). Attained-age policies in Michigan often quote lowest at 65 and cost the most later, so the cheapest first-year premium is not always the cheapest over ten years — ask each carrier in Michigan which method it uses and what its rate-increase history looks like.

When you can buy Plan G in Michigan

Your Medigap open enrollment period runs six months from the first day of the month you are both 65 or older and enrolled in Part B. Inside that window a carrier in Michigan must sell you any Plan G it offers at its standard rate — no health questions, no refusal for a pre-existing condition. It is the one stretch where the lowest premium in Michigan is available to everyone, and it does not repeat.

After that window, most applications in Michigan go through medical underwriting and a carrier can decline you, except where a federal guaranteed-issue right applies — losing employer coverage, for instance, or a Medicare Advantage plan leaving your area. Some states add their own protections on top of the federal ones; our Michigan guide below covers what applies locally.
