@eaglewings22 s22 how much do you pay for premiums total? $18 for specialists seems pretty good to me, in the context of low premiums. Curious to compare.

I really am not sure, because it is deducted from my partner’s retirement check and the annual insurance cost includes her non-Medicare Advantage health insurance as well as my Medicare Advantage PPO plan. I’d guess $200/mo? That is a pure guess…

In my MA plan there are no in-network/out of network hospitals or doctors, so we can self refer to any place or person. Pre-authorization for imaging and some treatments are required, but so far, so good.
