this is NOT like the Medicare Advantage plan you are used to. I made the same mistake until I called and got the particulars.?? I also hated the Medicare Advantage plan -- but I repeat -- THIS IS NOT LIKE MEDICARE ADVANTAGE> The name is a misnomer.? It is a? home-grown unique insurance

Give it some time and you will find out that Medicare Advantage is a giant scam. I speak from experience.

For what it is worth, I also retired from AT&T and they had a Medicare Advantage plan last year (for the firsts time) that was cheaper and is great - it seems to combine the best of both worlds - you can see the same doctors as Medicare Original as long as they accept medicare,? ?It is combined with a drug plan.? ?have not had to have any referrals. it covers overseas travel as usual, etc.? I would think that whatever AT&T bought into is what IBM is following up with.? It is much better than the standard Medivantage plan, and had several perks that standard medicare did not - I don't recall but food deliveries and transportation for I think 30 days after some surgery I think, and the little stuff like gym memberships,. ., and although AT&T did not tell me, I don't think they thought it up - I think some other large companies had proposed this and they latched on in 2022.

As a second choicer I never received the $3000, so am unaffected by this. I would however warn people about the dangers of Medicare Advantage plans and the governments attempt to privatize Medicare.? Advantage plans are heavily subsidized and are pushed by insurance companies as you can see daily on TV ads. It's sad but unsurprising to see IBM has taken the bait dangled by government and insurance companies. Read all about this issue on the NLRN web site and get educated if not already:
