Question 1

how much does medicare plan g cost per month

Accepted Answer

**Medicare Plan G costs typically range from $120 to $280 per month** in 2025, depending on your age, location, gender, tobacco use, and the insurance company you choose.

- Average cost is around **$160–$200** per month for most people turning 65.
- In low-cost states like New Mexico or Minnesota, you can find good Plan G policies for **$110–$150**.
- In high-cost states like Florida, New York, or Pennsylvania, premiums often run **$200–$300+**.

Plan G is one of the most popular Medigap plans because it covers nearly everything Original Medicare doesn’t (including the Part A deductible, Part B coinsurance, and foreign travel emergencies). Prices vary significantly by zip code, so the only way to know your exact cost is to get a quote for your specific location.
