In Maine, you can count on Medigap Plan A later, but not other plans
You can buy any Medigap plan with no health questions in the 6 months that start when you are 65 or older and have Part B. After that, Maine makes each Medigap company sell you Plan A without health questions during one month each year. For other plans, a company can ask about your health and can say no.
One exception is the trial right. If you joined Medicare Advantage when you first got Medicare at 65, or you left a Medigap plan to try Medicare Advantage for the first time, you can switch back within 36 months. Then you can buy a Medigap plan with no health questions.

A higher drug plan premium is not, by itself, a reason to switch
With Original Medicare, you buy a separate drug plan. In Maine, 8 drug plans are for sale for 2027, from $5.30 to $175.80 a month. Half of them cost $37.70 a month or less.
- Every 2027 drug plan limits what you pay for covered drugs to $2,400 a year. The drug coverage in Medicare Advantage plans has the same limit.
- The premium is one part of your yearly cost. The calculator above adds premiums, medical costs, and drug costs, so you can see the whole year.
- A Medicare Advantage plan can cost less in a light year. But you also take on its network and prior authorization rules, and you may not be able to get Medigap later.
- If your income is limited, Extra Help can pay most of your drug plan premium and drug costs. Check Extra Help at SSA.gov

Sources and method
Plan data comes from the CMS 2027 Plan Benefit Package and landscape files. The data is from 2026-10-10. We checked a sample of plans field by field against Medicare.gov. Original Medicare amounts are the 2027 projections in the 2026 Medicare Trustees Report (Tables V.E1 and V.E2). CMS sets the final amounts in November. We do not have a Medigap price for Aroostook County, ME. So the Original Medicare total needs your own Medigap quote. You can look up prices for ZIP 04747 on Medicare.gov. Totals use typical Medicare-allowed amounts for each service and typical drug prices.
