What is the name of your state? What is the name of your state? Ohio
I need to purchase a Medicare Supplemental policy. I am under age 65 and have been on Medicare for several years. Ohio has no companies that will sell such a policy to me. The DOI has recommended that I go to a state that has insurance companies that offer such policies and purchase one there. I was told by one of their legal people that this is not only legal, but the company has to sell me the policy as long as they sell the same policy to another person who lives in that state. I have started to call different states' Departments of Insurance and 2 other DOI's have agreed with the Ohio DOI (none have disagreed), that I can go to another state and purchase such a policy there since they do have insurers that in some cases not only offer such policies, but are required by several states to do so. However, each insurance company I have approached about this tells me I have been mis-informed. They will not sell me such a policy unless I reside in that state. Who is correct? And, if someone knows the answer to this question, could you please supply what law you are citing from? That way I can tell the insurance company what law is being quoted. Thank You.
