Showing Original Post only (View all)Congratulate Me! Got my best insurance plan ever, starting January. [View all]
First:Already had Medicare Parts A & B.
Had no RX coverage for years, couldn't afford any.
Really committed to a set of doctors, providers, etc. Did not want to change.
Now:
I get to see all my doctors, no additional premium.
Get very low cost RX benefits, no premium.
Will get services that only Medicaid covers, which I am not eligible to get. Some of these were ones that I really needed.
There are no deductibles for almost anything.
The co-payment for my providers is $15, which is less than the amount that Medicare was not paying.
Am stuck, however with a small monthly penalty for not having prescription coverage for some years.
That penalty is no matter compared to what I'm getting. I am so relieved.
And because of the ACA, there are no limits nor are there any conditions that can be denied.
I found the people that worked on seeing that I got the right policy to be honest and concerned about my costs, and they made sure that all my questions were answered.
Obamacare In Action.

I went to a new plan that will accept my basic Medicare A & B premium to cover D without a premium.

That's great! I think of Nancy Pelosi, too, and how hard she worked to help pass this.

Luckily, I didn't have to call or log in, and don't do Faux. But that's good advice for some. Thanks

First, I didn't go to the website or call. I sought out insurers who were seeking to expand.

I went personally to see my doctors and asked if they were 'providers' to that network. They were.

Terrific! That is going to reach a lot of people who really need the help. How about you make an OP?
