[hr] MamaBear: 1) Have you met any MD's that won't take medicare? I haven't met one. I haven't seen a hospital either that won't take medicare. I think you should check that. 2) On Medicare Advantage, the company is primary and Medicare is secondary. On Medigap its reversed. But...

I understand. But remember that Part N is a supplement and not an ADVANTAGE plan. They take $121 out of my social security each month. I live in NY. And the most i have to pay each year is approximately $240 above that. That is the out of pocket cost approximately. It doesn't matter...

I just KNEW there must be some reason. The woman at AARP-UH thought some people might take a less expensive plan then N or F because they have Veterans benefits... thanks for taking the time to reply MBSC

Mattspits (or anyone): I presently have Part N supplement. I noticed there is not much difference in price between Part N and Part A. But why would anyone pick Part A?

Hi, i have been with AARP United Healthcare supplement plan and its truely very very good. I use Part N. Its like riding in a cadillac. Just my 2 sense. I would FORGET the advantage plans - they are nothing but trouble as far as i am concerned.

Hi, has anyone attempted to obtain drugs from Canadian pharmacies and, if so, what is their experience? I am very interested. It looks like some of the drugs are manufactured in India, Turkey, etc. Thanks!

Hi TLH: I will just give you my experience with the plans. I turned 65 this past January. I signed up for a Medicare Advantage Plan from UHealthcare. When i rec'd it, i found that several specialists in town were not part of the network. The drug coverage was not terrific. As far...

The one i get is called Neksium from India. It has Astra Zeneca on the package. And it says 'only for sale in India and Nepal'. For what it is worth... But its cheap! And it seems to work as good as the old nexium

I saw there are certain designations like CipaRx that have SOME sort of standards that the pharmacies must go by. I have been using CanadaDrugStop.com with success. Its painfully slow at the start. But it delivers generics and even brand name drugs at a very decent cost. Of course, not...

Mpnatx: Your Welcome. Sorry about your medical problem. I live in NY. And am not offered Part G. As i said before, Part F seems to be the Cadillac of plans. Just show the card and everything is free. So base all other plans off of that one.

Hi, let me give you my experience. I turned 65 in January and have had the United Healthcare AARP plan supplement. All the Advantage Plans are decent if you are not planning on going to an MD. That is why they are cheap. Additionally, you can only go to an MD that is in the plan. But...

Hello Headusher. I agree with all Mack mentioned. The different Parts are the same for each company. Only the prices are different. But i would suggest you get a good broker from the Internet. I got one and she explained everything there was to know about the different Parts (A thru...

Plantsower, there is the $147 deductible for part B. Only have to pay it once a year. I have Part N as well..... i agree with Mack. Its an excellent choice.

Mattspits..... Thanks for the response!

I just want to ensure about one fact if i might ask. I signed up for a $0 Advantage Plan from United Healthcare. I am going to be 65 in January. My coverage starts in January/2015. I was reading on another thread Mack/M'Spits were mentioning that December 7th is the last day that one...
