Default We have had AARP supplemental insurance

since each of us turning 65 (almost 10 years ago...wow!). We have literally not had to pay one cent out of our pocket for any medical care....including my wife's breast cancer, surgery, radiation treatments and all post surgery check ups.
Maintenance check ups like colonoscopy every 3 years (due to polyps being found); cataract surgery; etc.
I pay $300 per month for the two of us...sounds like a lot...$3600 per year...however, in the end the amount is insignificant compared to what our cost out of pocket could have been without the coverage.
There are several good providers available. I chose AARP because their premium was some what less (at that time)...they have a significant membership that is enrolled in their supplemental insurance program...their customer service is always right there when needed.
It works very well for us.
