Default Need to get help understanding Medicare Plans.
The initial post makes it clear that the poster should contact SHINE or similar help to explain Medicare Plans. Supplemental plans, such as the poster mentioned—plan G—is not available to enrollees in Advantage Plans. Rather, they are supplemental to original Medicare Plans and based on the one selected offer various benefits to help with uncovered costs under original Medicare Plans. Advantage Plans, known as Medicare Part C, are administered by contractors under arrangement via the Medicare Agency.
