How Do I Apply for a Medicare Supplement Plan Household Discount?

If you and someone you live with both have a Blue Cross® Medicare Supplement or Legacy Medigap plan, you might be eligible for a household discount.

What is a household discount?

A household discount saves you 10% on your monthly Medicare supplement premium.  

What are the requirements?

You have to live in the same household as someone else who has a Blue Cross Medicare Supplement or Legacy Medigap plan. You don't have to be related. 

We define a household as a single-family home, condo or apartment unit within a complex. 

We don't consider these as households:

  • Assisted living facility
  • Group homes
  • Adult day care facilities
  • Nursing homes
  • Any other health residential facilities

Both new and current members qualify for the household discount. 

As a new member, you can apply for a household discount when you sign up for your plan. 

When you fill out your application (PDF), you'll need some information from your household member you're getting the discount with. 

If they're applying for a Blue Cross Medicare Supplement plan at the same time, you'll need their: 

  • First and last name
  • Social Security number

If your household member already has a Blue Cross Medicare Supplement or LegacySM Medigap plan, you'll need their:

  • First and last name
  • Subscriber ID

Your discounts will be applied automatically to both of your plans.
