    You can buy a Medigap plan from any number of carriers that offer coverage in your state.
     
    Some will buy direct from the Medigap carrier, others will sign up through Medicare. Most will buy direct from a local agent.
     
    Most agents will want to come to your home and explain options. Some agents understand you may not feel comfortable inviting strangers in your home and will handle everything by phone, email or USPS.

    You can buy Medigap from a carrier, through the Medicare "hotline", from an agent that comes to your home or you can buy from an agent over the phone and internet.

    If you buy from a carrier or through Medicare you are giving up personal service. Any questions will be handled by whoever answers the phone.

    If you don't mind strangers in your home, you can invite one (or more) agents to come to your home and pitch you on the various plans.

    I have conducted business by phone and internet for almost 20 years. Most folks like to shop in the comfort of their home and the ability to make a decision in their own time frame. Over 400 clients can't be all wrong.
