It is the widest gap of the five states the brokerage tracks. Ohio shoppers pay for a brand name. The benefits do not change.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The spread comes from how each carrier prices its own risk pool, not from the coverage itself. Humana&#8217;s Ohio Plan G block shows the pressure building inside those pools: state filings put a 25.03% rate increase into effect April 1, 2026, the largest of six Humana filings in Ohio since 2021. The carrier&#8217;s loss ratio, the share of premium it pays back out in claims, climbed from 55.8% in 2020 to 96.9% in 2024 before easing to 92% in 2025. Humana&#8217;s Ohio Plan G now prices at $179.25 a month, ranked 16th of 32 carriers and 52% above the state&#8217;s cheapest filed rate.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">EasyKind Medicare added Ohio to its published rate tracker this summer, alongside New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Texas and North Carolina. Ohio&#8217;s $224.67 spread is nearly double New Jersey&#8217;s $113.10 gap for the same plan letter. Broker Anthony Orner, NPN 20586791, notes that a familiar carrier name is not a pricing signal in a state where two policies covering identical claims can differ by more than $220 a month.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">A policyholder holding a Humana rate-increase notice is not locked into that price. Because Plan G benefits are standardized by letter, an Ohio resident can apply to move the same coverage to a lower-priced carrier at any time, though applications outside a protected enrollment window generally involve medical underwriting. New enrollees hold the strongest position: Ohio&#8217;s six-month Medigap open enrollment period, which starts with Part B enrollment, guarantees acceptance regardless of health history. EasyKind Medicare reviews the rate spread with Ohio callers at 855-559-1700 at no charge; broker compensation comes from carriers and does not change the price a consumer pays.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">The figures come from CSG Actuarial filed-rate data as of July 12, 2026, and carrier-level filing history compiled July 15, 2026, sampled for a 65-year-old non-tobacco applicant in ZIP 44101, Cleveland.
