@dandl48 It’s unfortunate that Mayo Clinic in Arizona and perhaps other health care institutions do not make clear the difference between Medicare Advantage Plans vs. Traditional Medicare. I have Traditional Medicare which means I have Medicare Part A, Medicare Part B (that I pay for through my Social Security benefits) and Medicare Part D (a prescription plan). Medicare Advantage Plans are considered Medicare Part C and I chose not sign up with a private insurance company that will manage my care.

It’s very confusing.
