The Californer/10148509

LOS ANGELES - Californer -- Some 14.5 million Americans currently have Medicare Supplement insurance coverage according to the American Association for Medicare Supplement Insurance (AAMSI).

"The number of Medicare Supplement policies held steady compared to the prior year," reports Jesse Slome, director of the organization.  The organization partnered with CSG Actuarial to gather pertinent data in advance of the upcoming national industry conference.

"There definitely is greater interest today in Medicare Advantage," Slome explains.  "You can't watch television without seeing an ad touting zero-premium options and free added benefits such as dental and vision.  That's hard to resist but both options have definite advantages and disadvantages which make comparing your options so critically important."
