medicare vs humana hmo

Question
I am very confused as to which way to go. for the last year i have been on the humana plan but am very unhappy with it. the doctors are very limited and i do not feel i am getting the care i neeed but because of my income limitations feel stuck. i can afford some but humana is making it sound like i will be spending thousands.


Answer
hi Jackie.



You should have received a copy of MEDICARE AND YOU 2010.  If not go to the Social Security office and get one.  In the center of the back cover is the number for the SHIP counseling service in your area.  Call them and request a counselor to make a computer comparison check for you for the plans in your area.  You will get the best options, and if you desire they can enroll you in the plan you want to take.
