Re: Question about Medicare and SS/Sue

[Guest guest]

Hi Sue,

I believe if you have insurance through your husbands work you don't

have to take medicare till you are 65 or until your husband insurance

doesn't cover you. Plan A is for hospital stays, plan B is for

office visits & tests and covers 80% if you do go with the medicare

you need to get a good supplemental insurance to cover the 20%

balance on everything. Plan D is for prescription coverage and trust

me they turn down most of them if I could have stayed on my husbands

I would have. Hope this helps.

Thanks, Lee, I was having a panic attack when I received it in the mail. We

have BC/BS through my husband's work so I'll just stay with that.

Happy and healthy 2009!!
