Who out there has a Medicare Plan or Medicare Advantage Plan with primary care providers, specialists and hospitals you think are REALLY GOOD? My husband currently has The Villages UHC Medicare Advantage Plan. He was a bit alarmed when he was told that the ONLY ear, nose and throat physician who would accept his insurance was in Tavares. We have been told this is an issue with specialists in general. So we are exploring alternatives. Recommendations would be most welcome.

We have Anthem Blue Cross and Blue Shield and Teamstar(you have to be a Teamster) for our prescription. Our insurance has been tested to the max and believe me, we could not have done better. Please, please make sure you have a solid plan before disaster strikes which happened to us. I had whined about paying the premiums, etc. but disaster struck and we're covered. Our plans followed us from KY to TV. Since I had nothing going on health-wise I decided to get an advantage plan. Same as you, no ear doctor would accept it...thank God, I was able to get back with Anthem under-the-wire so to speak. i will never ever complain about premiums again. You must get good insurance BEFORE anything bad happens. Good Luck.

Thanks so much to all of you for your replies. My husband decided to go with AARP Medigap Plan F. He likes the fact that he can go anywhere Medicare is accepted and have most of his costs covered.

:agree:

This is what I have. So far so good. I have used it in three states, go to the physician I want, when and where I want. So it costs me a little more than a plan I might find if I shopped around? I really do not care at this point. I want unquestionable coverage when I need it.

He will be pleased with his choice. I've had it for 2 years and am very happy.

A very wise choice, pbkmaine. We enjoy the security our Medigap plan F's afford us. We're covered everywhere Medicare is accepted, with no nickle and diming.
