I have Medicare and Federal BC/BS and I got my letter saying unless I changed by December 31, I am out! Is being on Medicare already the difference?

Yes, being on Medicare is the difference. You are not eligible to stay unless you switch to Medicare Advantage (except if you have Tricare for Life and you are already on Medicare + TFL).

Village Tinker, are you asking about the Benefit Table of the various Medigap plans? If so, you can Google "AARP United Health Care Medigap Plans" and look at what is covered by each plan. I also have the book "Medicare & You" 2016 version that the gov't sends to everyone each year. It explains Medigap plans and also gives a general outline about Medicare Advantage plans. if you would like to borrow it please send a PM.

I did and people emptied a room ever time he walked by because they were afraid of contagion and would be fired too. People who broke bread with him daily went to his home, etc. a person who performance wise simply brilliant I could repeat these types of stories over and over again. And that VP with the hush puppies came to me for counseling and to ask for my help. Knowing I would interfere the president of this company kept me in the dark until it was too late and the matter resolved. because he knew that I would tell hi that he had absolutely no legal basis to fire this VP and he didn't want that on the record. the president and I did have a come to Jesus meeting and of course he had more stripes than me so I knew I was about to go on a suicide mission and used my best Dale Carnegie to no avail/ But this President was too aloof too full of himself ........................ consider also mass layoffs its corporations natural way of survival. Those nice people you refer to can only be as nice as a corporation will allow. When push comes to shove watch how many remain at your side. Its the human experience So again I say a corporation can't and won't love you back . Personal Best Regards: |

Canada wait time for surgery is REAL!

Needless to say, she paid cash for hospital care here in the USA, but she recovered and went back home no longer in pain and eventually came back for surgery on the other knee. Sounds like the "wait time" was real! |

I just enrolled in the UHC Advantage plan because I have M.S. and thought having one doctor would be a good idea for me. I really was not told the negatives. I chose the HMO 2 program. Would anyone explain the differences I might encounter if I need hospitalization or if I need doctors outside of Florida? Are my only options urgent cares under this program?

They don't mention TFL on the website link posted by Rubicon (thanks R). Wonder why? The site verbiage isn't clear to me. The second listing should say something like "if you are NOT ON MEDICARE, we accept..." Am I the only one confused by this? We still haven't received the letter. We ARE both on original Medicare. Maybe I need another coffee. |

I think you should call UHC with your specific questions. This is far too important to rely on responses from a message board. Another good source is SHINE. I would talk with both. Best of luck to you. |

Correct. I'm 63 and my wife is 56 so we're not eligible for Medicare.

Wait times for elective surgery depend on the community and hospital involved. I just received a knee replacement in a month, and I'm no youngster. But I had to go to a hospital in Toronto rather than having surgery in the small local hospital. It's usually all about choices.
