Heres the deal on Medicare supplements: There are plans A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H I and J. No matter the company (Blue Cross, AARP etc) all plans MUST be identical. We have plan C through AARP Health Care Options. Although the plans are identical, prices with each company can vary. In other words, Plan C may vary per company. We had companies say, "We pay our claims quickly. or our rates don't go up as fast as another company." So must do your homework. Our Plan C is $290 for the 2 of us each month. It covers Basic Benefits, Skilled Nursing Co-Insurance, Part A Deductible and Part B Deductible, Foreign Travel Emergency. I chose a plan that did not have a deductible. Like I said earlier, this year I had 2 surgeries and PT and never paid anything. We found Sumter County to be less expensive that Tampa where we lived before.
