My wife had to drop 3 of her doctors when she went with the UNC ADVANTAGE plan, we just changed back to a SUPPLEMENT plan because of this.
Ask LOTs of questions to make sure the plan you are looking at will work for you and your health.
Hope this helps.
Now before everybody piles on, each individual has different needs, and each individual needs to determine which type of plan supplemental or advantage will be best for them. Also, VHC has put some very significant restrictions on the health care plans to get into their system.

with the highlighted bold, type statement.

Just to be clear, either one or two.

1. Original Medicare with supplement.

2. Medical Advantage plan.

Some people are fortunate enough to have worked for employers that offer medical benefits for the duration of their lives. This will work for people taking original Medicare and have their former employers plans as a back-up, to pick-up benefits not paid by original Medicare.

As always, each person must investigate what plan is best for them and their ongoing medical concerns and or, needs.
