Obviusly, all MA plans are not the same. Mine doesn't require approvals. This person likes their plan as well. But don't let her facts get in the way of your story.
"I have an advantage plan and I am very pleased. I was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, I have had the best care at MOFFITT. My recent hospital bill was $30,000 and I only had to pay $150. I also had thousands of $$ in bills for tests and procedures prior to surgery and only paid $120.
I have great dental and vision coverage. Florida Blue worked with me to get into doctors ASAP. I have a $20 copay for specialist, but didn’t have to pay a copay at MOFFITT. Just wanted to share a positive view on Advantage plans."
