You left ADVANTAGE, I presume you reverted to original, basic Medicare (not a supplement?) I'm curious, what is the procedure when you go to a physician. I suppose you present your Medicare card, then what? Do you get a bill? Do you have to send that to Medicare? Is it a smooth process, or cumbersome? Do you pay before Medicare reimburses you? Do all clinics accept this? C'mon, enquiring minds want to know . . .
