The Advantage Plan, as you know, is not a Supplement Plan...
The Advantage Plan stands on its own and is also known as Plan C....
The Supplement Plan supplements Original Medicare, as you know.
Original Medicare with Medicaid, as you know, is a third health plan arrangement.
1, the Original Medicare Plan with the Supplement and Plan D (Plan D being the drug plan)
and
2. A pure Advantage Plan alone.
3. Original Medicare with Medicaid.
Three different types of arrangements.
The problem is any of the plans will have the same type of "fight' quite often. Somewhat like Home Insurance some times. Insurance carriers/plans make you go through hoops and you have to fight for what you need and what is best etc. As we know there is much that needs to change with how health care is handled.
Hope we have helped others with our discussion, Beejenigma

I’m proud of you for appealing. They save so much money by denying first and hoping people just accept it even sometimes when their own criteria say they cover.
