I don't understand how you even got an appointment in the first place. It is my understanding that unless you got an appointment before the middle of last October (when the rules changed) that the system was no longer going to accept any insurance other than UHC Medicare Advantage (effectively freezing out all those not yet eligible for Medicare).

I am also not on Medicare (3 years to go before eligible) but I made my first appointment (for a November date) last year at this time and so, was grandfathered in (at least until I am eligible for Medicare, at which point I have to decide if I will go with the UHC Advantage plan or not).

Perhaps your disappointment was that you were told they would not accept your insurance?
