Quick Answer for Connecticut

4 Medicare options in Connecticut: Original Medicare + Medigap + Part D / Medicare Advantage / standalone Part D / Special Needs Plans (SNPs).

For most Connecticut enrollees new to Medicare, Plan G is the most comprehensive Medigap option, and Medicare Advantage is best if you want $0 premium and bundled extras. Medigap plans are federally standardized — same letter = same benefits across carriers.

Connecticut is one of the few states with year-round guaranteed-issue rights for Medigap. You can switch plans at any time without medical underwriting. Premiums in Connecticut tend to be higher because of this protection.
