When you reach the catastrophic limit, all valid claims are paid at 100 percent. But, your premiums are not part of the catastrophic limit.
I am still skeptical. Based on what I've had to pay over the years we are being nickle and dimed to death by the co-pays. My medicare can not be here soon enough. My husband has had it for 3 years now and he has yet to pay even a dime and he has had plenty of procedures. I don't think you are going to be able to convince me on this forum. I have to use my experience with all of this as a guide.
