Mutual of Omaha Medigap earned 4.5 stars out of 5 for overall performance. NerdWallet’s ratings are determined by our editorial team. The scoring formula takes into account pricing, coverage options, online quote availability, complaint data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners and more.
Based on these ratings, Mutual of Omaha Medicare Supplement Insurance is one of the highest rated options on our list of the best Medicare Supplement Insurance companies.
Here are the Medicare Supplement Insurance plan types Mutual of Omaha offers for any Medicare member where the company operates:
Medigap Plan A — the basic benefits included in every Medigap plan without any extras.
Medigap Plan N — a plan with lower premiums but higher copays.
Medigap Plan G — the highest-coverage option available to new Medicare members. Available as either a standard plan or a high-deductible option.
Mutual of Omaha also offers Medigap Plan F and the high-deductible version of Plan F for beneficiaries who were eligible to enroll in Medicare prior to 2020. Newer Medicare members can’t buy these plans from any insurance company.
Plans A, G, N and F are the “primary plans available across all states,” according to a representative from Mutual of Omaha, but the company also offers other plan types in some states. Enter your ZIP code on the Mutual of Omaha website to see which plans are available in your area.
In addition, Mutual of Omaha offers plans in Minnesota and Wisconsin according to each state's Medigap plan standards, which differ from the standardization system used in the majority of the country.
“Mutual of Omaha is one of the Medicare Supplement Insurance companies I’d recommend most for 2025. It scores 4.5 out of 5 stars on NerdWallet’s Medigap rubric. Stand-out features include very low customer complaint rates and strong premium discounts paired with generally reasonable pricing.
“Mutual of Omaha does trail competitors in a few respects. The company offers only a few Medigap plan types, for example, and some competitors offer more extra non-Medicare perks. And while Mutual of Omaha’s premiums aren’t sky-high, there are some cheaper options out there.”
Note: Since Medigap plan options can vary by location, it’s a good idea to do your research, compare multiple quotes and consider working with a licensed insurance agent for more personalized recommendations.

Because Medigap plans are standardized, you can get precisely the same Medicare benefits from any company offering the plan. So when you shop, keep these considerations in mind to find the best policy to fit your needs:
Is your preferred plan available? Health insurance companies don’t always sell every plan, so check who sells the plan you want to buy in your area.
What are the premiums? Prices for the same plan can vary between companies, so check to find the most competitive rates.
Will your premiums change over time? Most policies cost more as you age, but some companies offer policies that let you lock in a price when you sign up.
Are there extras? Medigap plans’ core benefits are standardized, but in certain cases, some companies include such perks as discount programs or gym memberships.
Mutual of Omaha's household discount of up to 12% is larger than most competitors' discounts, and members file few complaints about their policies.

NerdWallet’s Medicare Supplement Insurance (Medigap) ratings are based on pricing, discounts, plan types offered, complaint data from the National Association of Insurance Commissioners, consumer experience, additional perks and benefits, and more. To calculate each health insurance company's rating, we adjusted the scores to a curved 5-point scale, rounded to the nearest half star.
NerdWallet reviewed 15 Medicare Supplement Insurance companies based on highest enrollment and greatest online search volume. At the national level, our scored reviews include companies covering about two-thirds of all Medigap beneficiaries. At the state level, our research includes at least one of the two largest Medigap insurance companies in 48 of the 50 states, plus Washington, D.C.
These ratings are a guide, but we encourage you to shop around and compare several insurance quotes to find the best coverage and rate for you. NerdWallet does not receive compensation for any reviews. Read our editorial guidelines and full ratings methodology for Medicare Supplement Insurance.
We examined complaints received by state insurance regulators and reported to the National Association of Insurance Commissioners. To assess how insurers compare to one another, the NAIC calculates a complaint index each year for each subsidiary, measuring its share of total complaints relative to its size, or share of total premiums in the industry. To evaluate a company’s complaint history, we calculated a similar index for each insurance company, weighted by market shares of each subsidiary. We score companies based on this index of how many complaints the company receives relative to its market share.
