I'd love to meet the person who turns down Medicare in favor of buying a plan from Aetna or United,
Hi. Pleased to meet you.
My wife has double insurance. Both mine from work, and Medicare. When we schedule a procedure she needs, the insurance is a headache, they’ll only approve it for a single day. The Medicare hoops are far more difficult to navigate. When she needed a Wheelchair to get around, the Insurance Company sent one out within a week of the Doctor writing the order. Medicare contacted us a year later to see if we were ready to receive the item. A year. A fucking year later.
I could go into details of the headaches of dealing with Medicare, basically they are secondary, and anything not covered by the Primary, my work insurance, what would be our part, should be picked up by Medicare. Yet, they fight over every single thing. If it was just Medicare, then the prescriptions the Doctor’s are writing, would be denied, and the treatments that she is getting, would be denied, or approved about two years after her death.
So I am very pleased to meet you.
