Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Joyce, As of today I have Medicare and a Medigap policy from Banker's Life, Plan J. My premium is higher because I'm under 65 at $252. I'm sorry that Blue Cross is messing with you like this. It's so frustrating!

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 Pink Are you using medicare's search and compare feature on their website? I don't know how prevalant Advantage plans vs. Medigap supplements are in PA but you might want to look at Medigap too. It was anticipated by most to see some weakening of benefits or increase of cost ot Medicare Advantage plans for 2009 as the amount being paid by Medicare to the Insurance company is being reduced. > > frustrated!!! medicare started August 1--got a decent supplemental plan--Blue Cross Select Advantage Gold.

Guest guest Posted November 1, 2008 Report Share Posted November 1, 2008 MB I have Plan F from Sierra Health and Life and I pay $196.00 per month because of being under 65. AARP charges that for Plan A here for those of us disabled. Only two companies offer anything other than Plan A to those under 65 in Texas and no one offers Plan J. > > Joyce, > As of today I have Medicare and a Medigap policy from Banker's Life, Plan J.
