As you age, you may want or need new kinds of health care. As the need or desire for new health treatments rises, so does the cost. Supplemental health insurance pays in addition to your existing health insurance to help provide more holistic coverage and decrease out-of-pocket costs.
Aflac offers various supplemental health insurance plans to help provide support in specific coverage areas. A few popular options are dental, critical illness, hospital, accident, cancer, short-term disability, final expense, and vision insurance.
It can be helpful to understand the average cost of supplemental health insurance and how it often changes based on age. Chatting with an Aflac agent can help you find an insurance plan that works best with your budget. Read on to learn how supplemental health insurance for seniors works and find information on some types of plans that are available.
Supplemental health insurance for seniors works the same way it does for other ages. While supplemental insurance is often affordable regardless of age, the price can increase as you get older. For reference, the average cost of health insurance for seniors aged 60 is around $1,025 per month.1
Supplemental health insurance offers affordable plan options that can help minimize out-of-pocket expenses not covered by your major medical plan.
It’s important to note that seniors automatically qualify for Medicare, a national health insurance program in the United States for seniors older than 65.1 However, there may be a period of time before you turn 65 when you need additional support.
