Look up AARP for a supplement to your Medicare insurance, that is what I have, good luck and keep us informed on what you end up doing!

I was paying over $200 for a supplemental ins. I went to an independent insurance agent. He found a plan that was almost $100 less which does exactly the same. Said it has something to do with how many people they cover in my state. the more they cover, the less the premium. Check! t.j.

I now have a Medicare advantage plan and am having trouble finding doctors who accept these plans including my
primary care doctor. Now I am try to find a supplemental plan, but am having a problem finding one I can afford because I am under 65. A private insurance agent who is licensed by several companies should be able to help you.

My question is pertaining to medicare supplemental insurance. Even though a person has medicare part A and B, a supplemental insurance is necessary (called medi-gap). There is also something called medicare advantage HMO and PPO. I don't know if it would be better to select the medicare advantage plan (whether the HMO or PPO) along with medicare B, or if I would be better off selecting a supplemental plan (medi-gap) like AARP, or what plan to choose.
