The week's question
In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Finished the video I can't return to my supplemental if I leave for advantage, so it doesn't apply, but I found it interesting Medicare cuts them X amount per month depending on what ailment you have. It isn't clear about sudden surgeries, but I assume a certain amount is covered. But I'm not interested in Advantage anyway, just curious as to why my brother thinks it's OK. I think the group he bleongs to may steer him to the better advantage plans - and they even paid for a medivac for his wife.

That they would list drugstores as endocrinologists shows a bad plan, just like Ambetter ACA that my wife was on had specialists that had quit for years or moved and were still listed. Just talking to the medical office personnel who process claims told me Ambetter had a bad reputation and were difficult to deal with. I enjoyed the pre-authorization for a pre authorization needed on the video - and too many hurdles to wear you down.
I've read before that some health insurance companies automatically deny the first time and not everyone reapplies. arguments over codes.

But I haven't paid for anything other than a few minor copays for drugs in the past. I never paid for any of my cancer treatment.

But... my brother likes Advantage and I've talked to younger people with Ambetter and they like it. Younger folks usually have less problems.
