"Medigap remains a viable yet challenging business for both large and small insurers," notes Ken Clark, president of Chicago-based KLC Actuarial. "While the industry continues to consolidate, size is no guarantee of profitability. Medigap insurers need to find a balance of viable yet strategically competitive rates"

"Medigap remains a highly popular form of coverage among seniors," Slome notes. "While Medicare Advantage has seen faster growth in terms of covered individuals over the past years, millions of seniors continue to find Medigap the preferable option for a variety of reasons."
