Hi Toni,
I never should have listened to my brother, who bragged about how his Medicare Advantage plan was a great way to save money and not have to spend so much on my Medicare supplement plan’s premium. I discovered that the eye doctor who was to perform surgery on my right eye in early January is not in my Medicare HMO plan. I should have called his office before I signed up for it.
Now my eye surgery is postponed since the doctor’s office is requesting that I return to original Medicare to do the type of surgery that is needed. Can you explain how and when I can return to original Medicare? I am glad I did not cancel my Medicare Supplement Plan G even though the premium has increased. Thanks, Toni.
