Teddixat, I will watch the video later today. Thanks for posting the link. My husband passed in May after falling and was in intensive care for 7 days. I haven't gotten any bills yet but from what came from Medicare and our supplemental payments I won't be paying much. I was happy with the supplemental. My clinic has been pushing an advantage plan but I never wanted to go on one. It was known that my supplemental was the best in the area. I just got my medicare book last Saturday. Will check it out. Thanks.

@kismet When it comes to a supplement, there is no "best", a supplement is a supplement is a supplement no matter which company you choose. They all cover or don't cover the exact same things. The only difference is in the premiums.

I was told by more than one doctors office that I did have the best in the area. It was through a large company and employees that are still working are known to have the best also. I had no copays for doctors either. My drugs were covered also.

For those of you on UHC are you on the supplement or medicare advantage? I did see that my clinic only accepts certain medicare advantage plans and they do accept regular medicare which I have. Someone above posted if the doctor accepts Medicare they have to accept my supplement. I didn't know that. If that's the case I may be able to stay at the clinic and just go with UHC for my supplement. I did check different plans and the one drug plan won't cover one of my medications. I can get it at a good price using Good RX. They put it on a tier 3 and I have to more or less pay the whole thing. I take 2 pills of the same medication a day but in different strengths. The higher strength is on the 3rd tier. It's a BP pill which I thought for sure would be covered.
