Don't believe the Medicare Advantage (part C) ads. There is no Medicare part C. Advantage is not Medicare but private health plans. Advantage plans deny coverage to 17% of the procedures that real Medicare does not need any prior approval.
Also, I have a friend who needed physical therapy for his back. His DISadvantage plan said the three providers local were not in Network. He had to travel to another county.
My wife has had many problems in the last few years. I am so glad we have Medicare and supplement are no problem or hassle.
ALSO, the Mayo clinic will not accept Advantage patients.
If a health plan is with United Health care, Aetna, Humana etc it's Advantage.
However. there is a part D. It's private insurance for prescriptions only. Ours is with Wellcare Insurance Company.
