Default Medicare Advantage has gone off the rails

We were one of many people that had our Preferred Care Partners plan terminated. This only applies to people in our three counties. Preferred Care Partners still offers the plan we had outside of our area. As you are probably aware, PCP was purchased by United Health Care.

So, after much research, we found an acceptable Medicare Advantage plan with PUP that lets us keep our doctors. The replacement that United Health Care is offering drops several of our doctors.

My wife signed up with PUP over the phone, got all the way to the end of the application processes, and learned that our current primary care physician's "quota" had already been filled, and we would have to select another primary care doctor.

WTF?
