Comments on: Does Colonial Penn Offer The Best Medicare Supplemental Insurance? http://www.seniorcorps.org/medicare/does-colonial-penn-offer-the-best-medicare-supplemental-insurance/ Helping Seniors Help America Mon, 07 Oct 2013 07:48:13 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.4.2 By: Chuck http://www.seniorcorps.org/medicare/does-colonial-penn-offer-the-best-medicare-supplemental-insurance/#comment-16770 Chuck Tue, 17 Sep 2013 18:18:04 +0000 http://www.seniorcorps.org/?p=2692#comment-16770 I hear rumors that the Simpson-Bowles Commission will be eliminating/modifying parts G and/or F supplemental coverage. Has anyone else heard anything about that ? If that's the case...just like when the Government eliminated the "J" coverage...whether or not you will be moved to another medigap class, K etc...by your carrier solely depends on your CONTRACT...which is different for every insurance company.

I dropped my advantage plan to go with AARPRx because of only 1 (one) of my medications. It was the only plan that carried it. In the end they denied it, three times. So I ended up notnbeing able to,take the much needed med AND having to pay $90 a month premium to pay for all generic meds. Not to mention that phenerghan , which has been generic for years, is not covered at all and I have to pay full cash price for it. I have an appt this week with the Colonial Penn rep. I know they don't carry Plan D, but I've also learned that with generics and competition, $4 and $7 scripts are the norm even without coverage. I feel like an idiot.

I am offered a very good Aetna advantage plan from the company I retired from but Colonial Penn says the Advantage plans are in trouble. I called the hospital and they say they take all Advantage Plans at this time so does my Dr. AARP dropped my Dr who says they don't drop insurance companies but are sometimes dropped by the company itself. Confusing ! Who is telling the truth ? Yes, Colonial Penn rep says the Advantage plans will be hurt by Obama plan and the Drs. and local Hospitals are dropping them when their contracts expire.

How do they justify the difference? The AARP/United rep says there is absolutely no difference, but the Penn rep says theirs is a Policy, not a Certificate like AARP, which is a group plan and can be cancelled.
