It is close to "enrollment"
Making a decision on a health plan is very daunting. I experience Confusion with the general Mumbo jumbo of all this information, time limits, it is insanity! Thank goodness for making early researching. Wish me luck.... As I wade thru The swamp. |

Good luck with this. Fortunately for me, my wife is "into" this sort of thing & she figured it all out for us. Had it been left to me I'm quite sure it would have all ended up as just a big mess. Or in the alternative, I'd have ended up simply ignoring the whole thing.

Good Luck with Medicare! I didn't have money to get a supplement last year. I'm hoping maybe this year I can figure something out. They automatically cancelled me off medicaid when I turned 65. I did get myself some dental insurance. I couldn't pay my bills when they started taking out $135 for part B

I have Blue Cross/Blue Shield Advantage Plan,there is no monthly payment, but it is kind of 6 of one, half a dozen of the other, because there are co-pays, and you have to spend (6 thousand or something like that....before they kick in and pay everything; because (I am 73), my health as always been amazingly good, I went with that plan (only see the Dr.once a year); somewhere down the road, I might have to go to a different plan where I am paying a monthly premium. Yes, the task was daunting to figure it all out!

Hey, Sandy1333, and welcome to Psych Central! What does your country do for old people's insurance?
I tried to sign up for a COVID test with CVS, but my husband and I were flummoxed when we got a question about what Medicare plan I have. We thought Medicare is Medicare. What are all these policies carried by insurance carriers? |
