One of the big advantages of Preferred Care is the fact they have a office right here at Sumter Landing. One can stop in or call and get straight answers right away. There is no being put on hold or talking to someone who is not speaking English very well or does not understand your particular problem. This office knows their local providers which is most helpful. I went on Preferred Care last year and my wife is going on it for 2012. We are saving $3300 each in savings over Medicare part B premiums, AARP supplemental insurance premium, and Wellcare Part D Pharm. insurance premiums. Included in the savings is a $75 return from our Medicare Part B premium. I reviewed seven other advantage programs and found Preferred provided the least out of pocket expenses potential for us. We will be putting the $6600 savings for us away in a separate account to pay for any out of pocket expenses we will have in 2012 to cover the potential $5000 potential maximum out of pocket expenses will MIGHT have with the Preferred Gold plan. At worst case situation we will still be ahead. At best we will have saved a combined savings of $6600. Not bad.
