Why Choose Ryan P. Conway Agency
Real Medicare guidance from a local agent — not a call center.
Medicare decisions are too important to make from a TV commercial or a 1-800 number. We sit down with you, explain what Original Medicare actually covers (and what it doesn't), and compare Medicare Supplement plans from multiple top-rated carriers so you can make a confident decision. There's no cost to work with us, and there's never any pressure to switch from a plan that's working.
Medicare Basics
The parts of Medicare, briefly
Before talking about supplemental coverage, it helps to know what Original Medicare is — and isn't. Here's the short version.
Part A — Hospital
Inpatient hospital stays, skilled nursing, hospice, and some home health care. Most people pay no premium because they paid in through payroll taxes.
Part B — Medical
Doctor visits, outpatient care, preventive services, and durable medical equipment. Has a monthly premium and 20% coinsurance with no out-of-pocket maximum.
Part C — Advantage
An all-in-one alternative to Original Medicare offered by private carriers. We don't currently write Part C — but we're happy to refer you.
Part D — Prescription
Standalone prescription drug coverage from private carriers. Required if you don't have other creditable drug coverage.
Plan Options
The Most Popular Medicare Supplement Plans
Medicare Supplement plans are standardized by the federal government, so a Plan G from one carrier covers the same things as a Plan G from another carrier — the difference is price and customer service. Here are the plans most of our clients choose between.
Plan G
The most comprehensive plan available to new enrollees. Covers all gaps except the Part B deductible. The standard choice for people who want predictable costs.
Plan N
Slightly lower premium than Plan G. You pay small copays for office visits and ER trips, plus the Part B deductible. Good for healthier enrollees.
High-Deductible Plan G
Same coverage as Plan G, but you pay a higher deductible before benefits kick in. Lowest premium of the G family.
Plan F
The most comprehensive plan ever offered — covers literally everything. Only available if you were Medicare-eligible before January 1, 2020.

Timing Matters
When can you enroll in a Medicare Supplement plan?
Enrollment timing matters more here than with most other insurance. The single best window is your one-time Open Enrollment Period — miss it, and you could be denied coverage or charged more based on health.
Medicare Supplement Open Enrollment
The 6 months starting the month you turn 65 AND are enrolled in Part B. Guaranteed acceptance, no health questions.
After Open Enrollment
You can apply anytime — but carriers can ask health questions and may deny or charge more. Worth talking to us before assuming you can't switch.
Switching Plans Later
Many clients shop their plan every few years because rates change. We can help compare without disrupting coverage.
Special Situations
Lost employer coverage, moved, or had a guaranteed-issue trigger? You may qualify for a no-health-questions enrollment window outside the standard period.
