Medicare can be confusing. There are SHINE (Serving Health Insurance Needs of Elders) clinics here staffed by volunteers who can help explain all the options without bias.
The Villages has its own health care system that is highly regarded by many posters here and may be the easiest choice for one-stop shopping.
You're very kind to help your in laws with this. I once ended up paying $742 that I didn't owe just to get the tears and stress over with, so I truly sympathize. |
I will pass on your suggestions, I know they like the plan they have now because even though they pay quite a lot a month, it doesn’t have any copays and almost no deductible, if they ever have any big health issues they like the fact that the won’t have to pay 10s of thousands out of pocket.
