Dead Ends they all are so far.
Which is sort of elder abuse in itself.
I did a search (Bing) "how to file a complaint against a medicare advantage plan" and found several possible avenues to pursue, but it appears that if you file a complaint with Medicare the advantage plans has 30 days to respond. You could also try one of the local (orlando) television stations they seem to love investigating these types of problems, and of course the insurer will get a lot of negative press.
