PUP vs Preferred Care Partners Medicare Adv
 
We have had Preferred Care Partners, and it is now time to,sign up again. Does anyone have experience with PUP' and if so what do,youmthink about it?

Yes...curious about this plan! Also anyone looking at other plans (besides PCP)?? We've been happy with PCP BUT the changes may change our attitude about it. We're putting "feet" to this though and are meeting with their people...along with investigative procedures of other plans

I went to both seminars.I have PCP now.PUP has it beat in most categories.Urgent care for instance is a $0 copay for PUP and $40 now under the new PCP.I have to make a decision on changing or not.

I looked into PUP a few years ago and the problem I found was that they didn't have a good choice of local doctors. I am currently with Optimum and plan to switch to Preferred Care Partners. I will be able to keep the same doctor that I have now, same gym, and about the same full refund of my medicare premium. These are the things I care about most because I am in good (drug free) health.

Good info to know! Thanks

Did a comparison today on medicare.gov of PCP vs PUP and for myself it estimated PCP would cost me less money next year. About $500 and PCP did have a higher rating so guess I'll be staying with them.

PUP Limited Network, Good co. but still not having a larger network would be good. Look a Freedom or stay with Preferred Good Network of Drs and Hosp

PUP just signed an agreement with Florida Health Alliance (The Villages Hospital and Leesburg Regional Hospital, but their physician network isn't as large as Preferred Care and Freedom locally. I am an independent agent living here in The Villages, and would be happy to help you "long distance" until you arrive in December! Just send a PM to me.
