Just a marketing concept. Your healthcare is dictated by the profits. Advantage companies don't make money if you require more care than your allotment. Logic says that must effect the care.

I really appreciate your direct answer to my general question, which was if I choose a specific company (like FL Blue or UHS) SUPPLEMENT, then I can go anywhere and see any PCP or specialist (yes, if they are accepting new patients, etc.), as NETWORKS don't apply with supplement (medigap) plans, but do with Advantage Plans. I will continue to research. |

Just in case you didn't realize, all of the Supplemental Plans are identical in terms of coverage. In other words, one insurance company's Plan G is identical to another insurance company's Plan G. The cost, however, will vary. In addition, some of the insurance companies may allow you change from one plan to another (say move from Plan G to Plan N) without going through underwriting. For example, UHC in Florida allows this.

You're making assumptions. Btw, doctors and hospitals are for profit. Advantage plans aren't for everyone, but they're a good option. Choice is a good thing.

Do not interpret my position as an Advantage plan is better or worse than Medicare with a supplement. I have had both. Both worked equally well for me. I went with the Advantage plan due to my desire to be in TVHS. Have you been in enrolled in both or are you speaking as an internet surfer ? Last edited by rustyp; 02-29-2024 at 04:31 PM. |

I think you are referring to Medicare Part D, not Plan D. Part D is a separate drug insurance plan, not a supplement plan for Medicare Parts A and B. Medicare Part A is for hospitalization, Part B is for doctor visits, labs, surgery, etc., and Part D is for prescription drugs. You can buy a supplement plan to cover your coinsurance for Parts A and B, but I don't think you can buy a supplement plan for Part D.

Hallmarks of HMOs are: limited network of providers, zero benefits out-of-network, and "gate keeping" by PCP. Please correct me if any of this is untrue. |
