@blm1007blm1007 Hi Barbara, I guess I don't have a "supplement plan". My Humana PPO is indeed a Medicare Advantage Plan. I remember talking to a Humana Customer Service rep and she called my plan a "supplement" plan-incorrectly. I just got online and confirmed "advantage" not "supplement". I am on a budget and not sure if I could afford a supplement plan and if they would even take me due to preexisting conditions. Seems like at this time, good affordable insurance is for those that have worked for government. Maybe I should talk to an insurance agent. I've had quite a few Denials this year.

@kathyjjb I'm not sure what qualifies as "affordable", but as a retired government employee I pay over $600/mo premiums for the two of us for our supplemental insurance, plus Medicare B premiums of $370/mo (combined.) We are fortunate that we are able to afford it, but with changes coming none of us knows what the future might hold.
At this time, I have few exacerbations, so have not checked to see what Brinsupri might cost. I do know that getting approval for name brand drugs for either of us has been an ordeal these past 5 years, so will not even consider asking unless my bronchiectasis progresses.
