- Rapidly becoming the most popular among Medicare Supplement plans
- Offers the highest benefit level for beneficiaries
- Except for the $226 Medicare Part B deductible for 2023, it fills in the coverage gaps left after Original Medicare (that’s why it’s frequently called Medigap Plan G)

What Is Aetna Plan G Rate Increase History?
Aetna, like every insurance company, has rate increases.
Increases are based on several factors:
- Location
- Policy type
- Economic factors such as inflation
Previous rate increases can give you an idea of your monthly premiums, but they’re not set in stone. Here are some details on rate increases:
- Historically between 3% and 10%
- Typically modest for Plan G due to the more significant number of seniors insured
Aetna uses the “attained-age” rating method when setting monthly premiums for Medicare Supplement insurance plans. Attained-age rating bases premiums on your current age. This means that your rates will increase in addition to inflation or other economic factors as you get older.
If you’re shopping for a Medigap policy, Aetna Medicare Plan G offers some advantages:
- 12-month rate-lock: A guarantee that your rates won’t increase the first year.
- 30-day free look period: You can cancel your health insurance policy for any reason within 30 days of enrollment and get a full refund of the premiums you paid.
- Household discount: Eligibility rules and the discount amount can vary by state.
