Devoted PPO plan promotes a wellness bucks benefit and then company bails on providing the benefit.

This is monies we need not have spent if we knew in advance we were gonna get stiffed.

I don't want run-arounds from wasteful Florida agencies. Many do nothing or try to sell you other crap.
You can try Senors against crime and the BBB, I am sure Florida has a health care advocate, so try your local state representative to get a contact and file a complaint there also.
If (BIG IF) you have not been in the advantage plan for a year you should be able to get back to traditional Medicare without underwriting, we managed to do this when we found out that we could not get the care we needed under advantage plan.
