Looking into prescription coverage supplement once on Medicare, has anyone had good luck with this insurance co. If not which ones have you had a good experience with, this is just for prescription coverage. Thanks for any advice.

I have used AARP/UnitedHealthcare since Part D came out. Meds come from OptumRX very quickly. My elderly Aunt came to live with us and she had Coventry/First Health with meds coming from Medco then Express Scripts--took almost 10 business days for meds to arrive. Switched her over to AARP this year.







1/13/13 No, this is not an Advantage plan.

Is this AARP/United Healthcare an advantage plan, where medical and prescription coverage are bundled together? Or is the prescrip coverage separate?

We have Coventry separately from a non-advantage health plan (Mutual of Omaha) because we live two different places during the year. I have been getting 90-day prescriptions from Coventry/Medco, but not mail-order; pick them up at Walgreens. So I can't address the wait time.

Hi - the Florida SHINE program may be a good resource for you. I work for the SHINE program in NH currently. Using Medicare.gov: the official U.S. government site for Medicare (http://www.medicare.gov) they can assist you in doing comparisons based on your medications, and help you look at customer ratings, etc. Check the locations link - looks like they have counseling sites at The Villages.
