...................They are my supplemental with my medicare and I pay just under Three hundred fifty dollars a MONTH for paying off 20% medical expenses that medicare doesn’t cover. It goes up every year..............

What!!! That can’t possibly be correct!

I’ve got Humana, and my 2013 SS Benefit Statement says that my SS checks were reduced by my Humana Medicare Advantage by $489.60 for the entire year. Office copays are $15; specialist $40, and their RightSource pharmacy fills all my meds (generic) for $0 co-pay for the year, and mails them to me free. I pay nothing else out of pocket, (unless I need a one time med and go to CVS)

I know that location can make a difference in premiums, but your numbers are off the charts.

Check out Humana next fall during open enrollment.

I don't have prescription coverage but if I purchase just prescription,its over 80 dollars a month.. I don't have any co-pay with Aetna, but I started out with Continental but it has become a subside of Aetna. Since its automatically taken out of SS (medicare) and the cost of the supplemental also comes out of my checking account automatically, I know what I pay, and from what Humana told me along with a booklet with all the information in it, maybe I didn't explain it well enough. For the supplemental with Aetna(what I have now) I do NO co pays for anything. I fell and fractured my patella last year so we went over all the co-pays that accident would have cost me and it was gads more than what I really had to pay staying with Aetna/Medicare..

Many of the things I didn't have to pay for with what I have now, I had a co-pay for with Humana. Everything had a co-pay. I have no co-pays with my supplemental as I set it up many years ago..I do have the Plan F supplemental which is why I pay over 300 a month, but like I said, it goes up every year by at least 20 dollars...
