Getting a Diagnosis for Chronic Pain

I have a question. I will have to go on Medicare at age sixty because I am on SSD. My husband’s union offered United Health Care Medicare Advantage at no cost to me. It’s a PPO plan and you can go out of network to any doctor who accepts Medicare and they will pay the same if they are in network. Are the PPO plans any good? The union plan sounds great but I have no idea what they pay doctors. I was originally go to get regular Medicare with a part G plan supplement.

The PPO plan is usually better than your HMO plans but It is preferred Provider, so if the Dr Isn't a provider of that insurance than you will pick up some of the bill or the clinic will say we are not a provider of that insurance. I have plan G, usually take F but I am so happy with it. Never see a bill after one duductible is paid for the year. Barbara

I have a PPO and am quite satisfied. I went from an HMO to a PPO so that I could go out-of-state. I would check with a reputable insurance person who deals with Medicare and supplemental plans.
