“Six states — New Jersey, Ohio, Oklahoma, Texas, Arizona, and Washington — will begin using the Wasteful and Inappropriate Service Reduction (WISeR) Model to perform prior authorization evaluations, CMS announced in a Federal Register notice. This will apply to 17 services that CMS says ‘are vulnerable to fraud, waste and abuse.’”

As a former agent Medicare Advantage is inferior to Medicare + Supplement G F or high deductible F. Looks good up front but falls apart the longer your in.

We got notice this past that our Part D company is existing the business. We were paying $22/month for each of us. We are searching for a replacement plan and the best we can find so far is $400/month for each of us!

That’s a jump from $264/year to over $5,300/year — in ONE hit.

Unfreaking believable.

He advises people with MA’s to get a cancer plan - but you must apply before the age of 72. That leaves me out.

Only had my BC advantage plan for 1 year before receiving notice a couple weeks ago they are dropping me. Must be a regional thing as relative who has same plan, but lives in a larger population county (but only 10 miles from me) has not been dropped...at least not yet.

Now the "joy" of finding another plan. Wondering if I should just go back to traditional medicare...add a supplemental.

...but know that is probably going to be a lot more expensive.

Medicare Advantage has always been a GWB scam to direct additional money to insurance companies without requiring itemized services for them.

It gets sold to old folks with the “no premiums” pitch, but then they find it won’t cover some of their essential medical needs (such as back surgery).
