I will be getting Choice PPO in Md in 2022. Does Bisoprolol get covered under my new plan?
We have humana choice PPO….are shingle shots covered? We were told they were and paid our $35……….now we’re being billed for balance. Can’t get a straight answer from anyone
The thought of fighting to get approved for a procedure alone makes me glad we did not choose the advantage plan. It’s so nice not to worry about it. I wanted to bring up Good RX, a prescription app. We pay for the cheapest part D drug plan. We hardly ever use it. We have our pharmacist compare prices with our Part D and with Good RX. Most often Good RX is cheaper, by a lot!
I heard straight Medicare is best
The last thing I want is to be denied seeing whatever doctor I want to or go to any hospital I want to. That should always be my decision and not some board of directors of a multi-billion-dollar insurance company. My mother was on an advantage plan and every negative thing you said about it is true.
Medicare advantage plans are great if you get the right one. I have one that I don’t pay any premiums on Medicare pays the premium and that’s it. I love it! I have had no trouble with seeing any doctors that I like or finding one that I like anyway.
Why can I get a list of plan providers?
