             *Estimated 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.

             **Plans C, D, F, G, M, and N include benefits for foreign travel emergencies. They cover 80% of cost of medical
             emergencies while traveling in other countries. This coverage has a  $250 deductible and a $50,000 lifetime limit.
