foreclosures Medicare Supplement (Medigap) Plans M & N

Beginning June 1st, 2010 Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) will include two new choices for consumers - Medicare Supplement "M" and Medicare Supplement "N". At that time Medigap plans E, H, I, and J will be eliminated as the "Preventive Care Benefit" and the "At-home-Recovery" benefit are removed and these become identical to other lettered Medigap plans.

In today's mobile world and in such a volatile employment climate, the portability of AFLAC insurance is a big plus.
