My wife is on medicare disability and is on the AARP plan in Memphis. Plan pays much better in Memphis lower cost for hospital stay than TV ( well if you stay less than 5 days) and $3450 for max out of pocket for medical compared to $4500 in TV. Her medicine is on the plan. Most other plans do not have both drugs she takes. So you need to check the plan for your drug. She's had a brain MRI and other prodedures this year (her 1st) and the total out of pocket for medical has been only around $500. Much lower than I expected.
Medicare just pays very low and you pay 20% of the medicare amount.
Finding docs are a challenge but would bet it would be easier in TV.
We're having BCBS come to the house Monday. We'll see what they have to say...
