Thanks for the info.
I belong to an HMO on Medicare named Secure Horrisons.
I have not been to a Dr in a year or so. Guess I should get a check up.

I have plain Medicare (not restricted to an HMO) and a good Blue Cross/Blue Shield Supplemental that covers any co-pay or "excess amounts."
If I were too ill here to drive the 45 miles to VA and be seen in ER, I have been twice to a local good medical group and can be worked in.
I also retain going to MCG for my dermatologist and oncologist for follow-ups annually.
Once you hit 65, it gets easier...except for the prescription Black Hole, both of us medically disabled.
(9 & 11 years, respectively, before 65. That was tough.)
