Hi, I will be new to Medicare soon and have heard that Medicare Advantage plans are not all they are cracked up to be. i live in southern Indiana and I know that it makes a difference where a person lives and what is available.
On many Advantage Plans in my area, cost is $0/$30 month for medical plus basic dental/vision/hearing covered. But, you have to go to the doctors in their network. Sounds good, but is it too good to be true?
On a Plan G Supplement - cost will be between $120-$150 month for just medical. Then $20 for Part D for any prescriptions. And vision, dental, hearing is not covered. But you can go to any doctor you choose.
I am hoping someone can give me advice based on their own experiences. I realized that there are all different plans, but I am having a difficult time deciding which way to go. I don't plan to travel much at all during retirement, but being able to go to any doctor I want is very enticing.
