about the supplemental insurance is that all A policies are exactly alike. All b's are just like the other b's. All down the line. So you can pick what letter policy suits you best in coverage, then you pick which company to use. For this part go by price, availability etc., Google complaints or reviews on each company you are considering. You may want to choose one that cost an extra 10 bucks but has a great customer support, pays quickly, accepted widely etc.

Just knowing that each policy letter set is the same as the others of that letter cuts down the choices into something easier to deal with and understand.

Good luck.

It's been several years since I went through this for my mom so am hoping it's still the same.
