Medicare/part1and2

[judy]

Oh dear! I got dizzy just from reading that! I have 3 more years to figure it out.

I just found out that I have (and pay for) a supplemental health plan from work that may reimburse me for prescriptions co-pays. The thought of reading the fat boring pamphlet I have is making me very upset. I'm hoping I can get someone else to explain it to me. Luckily, I don't have a lot of medical expenses, so we're not talking about more than a few hundred dollars/year, if that.,

Good luck Donna! Maybe you can find a meeting that explains it. They have forums like that in the nursing home up here.

I have so many ins. companies calling, they will come to my home.
Don't really want to go to a nursing home yet.

Donna, have you decided????

[donna1990]

No, I am still looking for a suplement, BlueCross, United Health Care, AARP,
Humana Gold Plus????

So, you are going to go with regular Medicare + a supplement? Or are you going to do the Medicare HMO thingy???

Yes, I think so. My husband has Humana Gold Plus and he has hardly paid for anything. Just his high blood pressure medication has gone up to $40 a month, still looking.

My daughter works in a pharmacy and they have to learn about the medicare stuff. If you talk to your pharmacist they probably could help you decide that would work best for you.
