Hello @kim1965,
Here is a Connect discussion on Medicare Advantage plans. Personally, I will not make the switch to an Advantage plan even though the monthly cost might be lower. I have a supplemental Medicare plan. It's always wise to look carefully at any Medicare plan before making a decision. Sometimes, with the Advantage plans, the insurance company takes more control over patient care.

I have Medicare and I pay for an extra supplemental insurance that covers the what Medicare hasn’t
The most I have ever paid is $20
I was told by my account not to get the Medicare Advantage in my situation
One thing if Medicare doesn’t cover something the supplemental won’t pay they only pick up the difference
Best wishes
