Mutual of Omaha Reviews

Mutual of Omaha Medicare Coverage Overview 

Mutual of Omaha offers Medicare supplement insurance plans, also known as Medigap, to help cover the remaining 20% of medical expenses that are not covered by Medicare.  

The expenses that the plans cover include:  

• Copays 
• Deductibles 
• Coinsurance 

Mutual of Omaha Medicare Medigap plans are for those enrolled in Medicare Part A and B. They allow Medicare patients to pay one predictable monthly payment for any additional expenses instead of having to pay out of pocket for large medical bills.  

Mutual of Omaha Medicare Supplement plans typically make it easier to receive care when traveling both nationally and internationally.  

Mutual of Omaha Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan Options 

Mutual of Omaha offers the following plans:  

• Plan A. Plan A comes with basic benefits only, which include coinsurance for hospitalization (Part A), doctor visits (Part B), hospice care, and the first three pints of blood. It does not include additional coverage for a skilled nursing facility, the Part A deductible, the Part B deductible, Part B excess charges, and coverage for foreign travel emergency care.  
• Plan C: Plan C is considered an economical plan that covers the deductibles for both Part A and Part B, skilled nursing facility coinsurance, and foreign travel emergency visits. 
• Plan D: Plan D is considered a mid-level plan that includes basic benefits, skilled nursing facility coinsurance, the Part A deductible, and coverage for foreign travel emergency visits. It does not cover the Part B deductible. 
• Plan F: This plan covers the remaining expenses when Medicare only covers part of the total cost.  
• High Deductible Plan F: This plan comes with the same benefits as Plan F after you pay the $2,000 per year deductible.  
• Plan G: This plan is designed to be paired with Part B. Plan G will help cover doctor visits after the Part B Deductible is met. (In 2022, it was $233.) 
• High Deductible Plan G: This plan includes the same coverage as Plan G once the $2,000 annual deductible is met.  
• Plan N: Like Plan G, Plan N also kicks in once the Part B Deductible is met. Plan N benefits include paying a $20 copay for each doctor’s visit and $50 for each emergency room visit.  

Mutual of Omaha Medicare Supplement Plan Rates 

Medicare Supplement rates depend on a lot of variables, including location, age, sex, and tobacco use. However, in some states, insurance providers are not permitted to use age to determine pricing.  

For a reference point, here is a breakdown of costs for a female born in 1953 in Colorado:  

Mutual of Omaha currently offers a 12% household discount if you have lived with someone who is more than 60 years of age for the last 12 months, or if you are married or have a domestic partnership. That means these costs will be lower if you qualify for the household discount. 

Medicare Prescription Drug Plan (Medicare Part D) 

Mutual of Omaha also offers Part D, which is the prescription drug plan. Part D can be added as a standalone plan to add to Part A and Part B or it can be added along with one of Mutual’s supplemental insurance plans. 

Mutual of Omaha offers two Part D Plans that are called Mutual of Omaha RX. Here’s an example of what you can expect, but please note that prices may vary depending on where you live:
