Just make sure that your Dr even accepts Medicare patients. I did research on various plans only to find out there were no Drs that accepted them. Ironically the local hospital didn’t even accept Medicare patients. Took me quite awhile but finally found a GP that accepted Medicare and a Mutual of Omaha supplemental plan. Humana has a drug plan for $18 a month but you have to use a Walmart pharmacy. So I pay $100 a month for Medicare, $150 for the supplemental plan and $18 for the drug plan.....and I never use any of it knock on wood.

I checked in WA, OR, and ID and there were 91, 60 and 38 hospitals that DO accept Medicare. 381 that do in Texas -- that really is a big state.

Great advice. Also, Sam’s Club is a better pharmacy if available.
