I actually work in a Medicare guidance center for an insurance company (we use Humana, however they aren't very competitive in Supplement plans yet). My suggestion is to call your SHIIP (senior health insurance information program) in your area. I'm not sure what state you're from, but the following link has the numbers:

SHIIP:: Other States Resources

We often refer people to the SHIIP program because we aren't very competitive in some areas. They are a volunteer organization made up of seniors that have access to ALL health plans in your area and all of the coverages and rates. It's 100% free because seniors volunteer to do it. Hope that helps!!!
