Just curious as I am starting to look at my options.

Right now I am leaning towards taking the High-Deductible Plan G Medi-Gap plan, wondering what others’ experience with it has been.

I’ve socked away a lot of money in my HSA account, so I am hoping that will cover a good portion of my expenses, so I can handle the deductibles.

Where does United Healthcare get the money to pay for this man’s treatment? Oh I see, they get the money from other people who don’t crash their motorcycles. From people who decide riding a motorcycle is dangerous. From people who are careful and responsible.

Make sure you do it before your 65-year old deadline.

Every state is different. Talk with someone in your state for correct info.

It is easy and basically automatic to go from a Medicare supplemental or gap policy to an advantage plan. To go from an Advantage plan to a supplemental or gap plan is not easy, requires medical underwriting. That is all you need to know in my opinion. Keep in mind, in this life we get what we pay for. Pay little, get little. Pay more, get more. Sometimes we need to look beyond the tip of our noise.

May I say this? We, my spouse and me, worked to age 69. Both of us. For three reasons we didn’t retire at 62. One of those three reasons was to avoid a Medicare Advantage plan. We worked 7 x 2 years to avoid this.
