When we needed skilled nursing for my husband and they knew we had a supplement plant, all options were given immediately.

I agree with you. I am a nurse and worked the last couple of years in case management. im the one who helps place people in nursing homes. i cant tell you the number of times i had to send the sweetest and nicest patients to an absolute crap hole of a nursing home. All because of the crummy Medicare advantage plan they had. Yes Humana was one of the worst. I would never have an advantage plan based on my experience with them.
