Bill paying

My sig other was diagnosed with AD a year ago. Looking back on it now she was in decline several years before that. We've not had too many difficulties with bill paying. The biggest issue is unsolicited telephone calls from Medicare Advantage insurance reps that convince her to change her coverage to other plans. This has caused any number of difficulties. She tells them she's perfectly healthy, only takes one rx etc. I had to change it back several times in the past year. I canceled our land line. I blocked all calls to her cell phone that are not in her contacts. When she sees a call that was silenced by our phone provider as being possible spam she calls it back! Our insurance provider cannot block these changes. Any advice is appreciated!

@longboat1 I’mvery worried about this also…thankfully it hasn’t happened yet, but it will. Political spam that comes in, he responds to, so I know it is only a matter of time. I have no advice for you; in fact, I’m panicked myself about this very thing. Best wishes…💕

@longboat1
Oh boy, didn’t know that was a possibility (the changes of health plans). Despite this being a conversation for probably seven years at least now, my dad will answer the minute his phone rings. It’s like a racehorse hearing the bell. Everything is dropped to get to the phone, and he will call spam numbers back if he missed it and of course they left no message. I have no idea what to do, I was just going to try to block all unknown numbers when I read this post from you. I’ll keep watching—hopefully someone has a good suggestion!
