Outrageous Premium Increase by United of Omaha

[ck1]

Do not purchase a medicare supplement plan from United of Omaha. This company increased my monthly premium for Supplement Plan N by 72% in a 16 month period. It increased from $164.00 per month to $285.00 per month. Customer service is terrible, supervisors do not return calls. Trying to cancel a supplemental plan creates a huge problem if you are not on original enrollment guidelines. I never thought this type of increase could happen to anyone on medicare. United of Omaha needs to be held accountable for these tactics. Please contact if there is any legal recourse.

For some reason they have been increasing premiums. I have been helping my clients find alternative companies to enroll into. You may want to find an independent agent who represents multiple companies, and have them help you enroll with a new company and diss enroll from Omaha.

I always advise people to request quotes for age 80 in addition to age 65. This allows you to find plans which stay competitive and isn't an introductory rate. As an example, here are some Plan G rates in my area. If you only request age 65 quotes, they all look the same.

Plan G Age 65 80
Combined Life $112 $181
Mutual of Omaha $112 $180
New Era $112 $178
Manhattan Life $112 $174
Aetna $112 $162
