From what I have seen other people experience if at all possible I would never leave my traditional Medicare / United Health Plan. I have seen people lose their life savings because they were somewhere not in network, surgeon wasn’t in network., advantage just didn’t cover . Hospitals also have problems with some Advantage plans, they say they will pay one amount then don’t. They say you need a prior authorization then take forever to get it for you. I honestly feel they definitely don’t have the patients best interest at heart. ❤️

I think you are correct. The advantage plans work on doctor visits and prescriptions. If you need surgery they just deny it. They know most people will just accept a denial and not fight it.
Not me. I'm prepared to go the whole nine yards.
Thank you for your response. Next year, I'm going with standard medicare and never use an advantage program again.
