**Estimated average annual premiums are based in most cases on your state insurance department's Medigap premium
comparisons or on quotes from an actuarial firm. There can be large variations in premiums from one company to another, and
it's a good idea to get several current quotes.

emergencies while traveling in other countries. This coverage has a $250 deductible and a $50,000 lifetime limit.
