... I keep getting hit on for C & D. No comprende....

I no comprende your question. Are you saying you are being asked to pay co-pays and deductibles?

[gloryblaze]

Back when I got old, I did lots of research and ended up with a Medigap plan and a drug plan. I’ve had one claim. I paid nothing, but the plan only paid 10% of the billed charges. What Medicare alone would have paid, I do not know.

It’s a mess.

Take it now or get penalized later. Its a recurring penalty, not a one shot. The longer you wait the steeper the penalty.

No, you are without non-hospital coverage, generally speaking. And without outside of hospital prescription drug coverage, again, for the most part.

“I’m on Medicare A & B. Provider is Kaiser.”

you’re confused ... those two things are independent and unrelated: you either have one or the other. Kaiser provides so-called Advantage Plans which completely substitute for Medicare A & B ... with kaiser, your ONLY medical provider is essentially Kaiser themselves ... with medicare A&B, almost ALL other medical providers accept Medicare payment ...
