The single biggest difference between Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage is with the Advantage plan your doctor does not decide what care you receive, the insurance company does. I have myself seen the words not medically necessary. My doctor prescribed a treatment and the insurance company denied it. I can tell you that there is no more helpless feeling.
With Original Medicare your doctor and YOU decide what care you need, not someone setting miles away that has never seen you.
If you decide to go with the Advantage plan I hope your health remains excellent.
