D o not know what is going to happen to medicare advantage programs in 2014 via obamacare..however, we just found out ..we dont even have access anymore to a retina specialist or othmalgists in our insurance provider directory. We were told after trying to make an appointment today with an eye doctor on preferred care, that our zip code is not accepted, sumter county anymore..3 doctors already called that said that...we were shocked and got the runaround by preferred care.
now we are told..WE ARE ASSIGNED TO ONE AND ONLY ONE EYE DOCTOR IN ALL OF FLORIDA..and if they deem it necessary to see a retina specialist which they do not have on staff, they go from there. my husband is a diabetic and of course that concerned us.
We definitely will probably make a switch next year to another 'insurance' but its mind boggeling trying to figure this out.
DOES ANYONE READING THIS HAVE A MEDICARE -SUPPLEMENT- AND IF SO HOW ARE THE PREMIUMS AND COVERAGE? PLEASE EMAIL ME AT

The state of Florida has a department that helps individuals understand Medicare. Unfortunately I do not remember its name. I would do a search on the internet to see what assistance Fl might offer. I think the department is set up on a county by county basis so you could meet in person.
