I agree with Chi-town, SHINE has multiple one on one meetings each month at various locations. They offer an unbiased review of the various plans available. If you search this site, you will find lots of info and misinfo. We found SHINE to be very helpful.
Also, if you are not aware, the villages health system only accepts their Medicare ADVANTAGE for the primary care doctors. Specialists still accept Medicare with supplement insurance. The local UHC offices will be glad to provide you with info on the (3 I think) ADVANTAGE plans available.
Be sure you understand the consequences if you decide to go with an ADVANTAGE plan and then want to change back to a SUPPLEMENT plan, there are potentials pitfalls.
Hope this helps.
