Whether or not $156 is a good rate depends on the Medigap plan letter (G, N, etc.) and your location. If you are comfortable providing your zip code or county/state, I could research rates in your area and provide a better response. I assume you are turning 65.

Plan G and my zip code is 98823...washington state...
I could not find a Plan G rate in WA better than $156. Medigap plans in WA are community-rated. This means all ages pay the same rate so they seem high for those ages 65-70 but seem low once you are 75+. It balances out in the end and can work to your advantage if you live longer than the average person.I just wish the rates were more comparable. United Healthcare for me would have been $199 in my area, and my friend has UH for $123 in Arizona
doesn't make sense *shrug*
Another advantage for WA is that you can change Plan G insurance companies anytime without medical underwriting. If your current carrier increases their rates, you can move to a lower cost carrier without answering health questions. Your friend in AZ would need to pass underwriting to change companies.
