You have to be very careful in switching

Did you mean to say you switched by signing up for an Advantage plan? Because Medigap plans are "supplement" plans (A, C, F, G, etc.) In other words, they pay the 20% difference between the 80% that Medicare pays and what you owe the doctor. I could see where you'd have trouble being reinstated to Plan F (Medigap) from an Advantage plan. That would be scary to have no insurance for four months at this age!
