Medicare Advantage Plans

[Mike in Horseheads]

Hey Peeps on Medicare...  Anyone else get their Medicare Advantage Plan cancelled and you have to find a new one?  I've had a great one since April when I first got on and now the choices are slimmer and more expensive in co pays etc.  Current plan is Excellus Blue/Active (PPO).  Be interested in if others are getting the same notice.

PLEASE don't make this politics!

I do NOT know this world, but I sat in on the calls about my coverage. I even learned a little bit, while nodding along and my wife asked the questions and took notes. 

 

Anyway, one of the things this guide taught us was to look at how long each company had been doing it in your area, were they making or losing money, financial strength, etc. He showed us some things and said that may look like the best deal, but it probably won’t last. I wish I knew enough to help.

IMO having Medicare as primary and then picking up a secondary insurance is the way to go.

 

If you have a Medicare Advantage plan you're at the mercy for things like authorizations.

 

But it depends on one's age as well.  If you're not like that sick I can see the appeal.
