Toni,
We have received a 15% increase on our Plan F Medicare supplements effective Nov. 1. I am a 70-year-old female in good health, but my husband, Sam, is undergoing cancer treatment. Also, his cardiologist has advised him that he may need a pacemaker.
My friends have told me that we will have to wait until Medicare’s annual enrollment period to change from our current Medicare supplement plans.
I am concerned that with this Medicare supplement increase, we may not be able to afford the premiums. What should we do? Would a Medicare Advantage plan be a good option to change to with Sam’s cancer issues?
