I didn't want to hijack Austen's thread so I started this thread because I want to thank you for taking the time to explain all of the "ins and outs" of Medicare. They wait until you are starting to get forgetful before they throw this at you. devil

I keep myself very well informed so I was aware of all of this. It's the drug stores that aren't informed and there should be no excuse for this. I'm talking about the two top drug chains in the US! Medicare part F is one of the medigap policies and it's been around for a long time. It is the most expensive policy out there but with all my health problems I felt it was the best for me.

I think most people go with a Medicare advantage plan because it's a lot less expensive so these stores don't see my policy very often. Actually the store I'm dealing with had never seen this policy! I even had problems at a medical supply business for my ostomy supplies. I FINALLY got them straightened around.

It's just so frustrating when you have proof of the policy, written explanations off the Internet and they finally understand but yet they don't have a code to put into their computers. That's where the problem lies. I even got the phone number of my supplement that is used providers and gave it to them and they called and I guess there is no code for the computers. Now that's government in action. LOL. But thanks, again, for you input. I really appreciate it!

Sherrine,
I'm glad you have all your ducks in a row. Not glad to hear you have to do the pharmacy's job for them. Oy! It's annoying and frankly ridiculous because Plan F is actually fairly popular from what I've seen. Best Medicare plan you can get and the expense is worth it down the road.

Hopefully they will be on the ball next time.
