My wife had Humana for drug coverage and paid $22 a month and she had United Health Medigap plan which was $184.50 a month. Last July I turned 65 and signed up with the Medicare Advantage plan. My wife saw how good and cheap the plan was for me, she dropped those two plans and signed up for Medicare Advantage herself at the Medicare Store at Brownwood.
First off, under her old plan she went to Premier Medical at Lake Sumter and she wasn't crazy about their service and then her doctor left, who she felt wasn't as good as others in the past. She has now been to the Villages Medical at Pinellas twice to see her doctor, who she really likes. She getting drugs at Walgreens in front of Pinellas and not having to go all the way to Walmart and stand in long lines only to have them say their is a problem or they are out. She picked up a drug yesterday for $90 which under the old Humana plan was $140. She's had a mammogram, bone density tests, anything you want. It the best deal ever and we're saving over $200 a month in premiums.
Myself, I went to the dermatologist Dr. Casper today, who many consider the best and paid just a $30 copay. Within 5 minutes they diagnosed my problem which other dermatologist couldn't figure out even after taking a biopsy.
