Quick Answer for New Hampshire

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

For most New Hampshire 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.

Like most states, New Hampshire follows federal Medigap rules: a one-time 6-month Open Enrollment Period starting the month you turn 65 and have Medicare Part B. Outside that window, carriers may use medical underwriting to deny coverage or raise rates.
