You must answer a ton of questions and they design your plan. We both have been signed up with Medicare Advantage since 2021. He's with Blue Shield of CA and I with United Healthcare. We had Medicare PPO before Covid, Anthem Blue Cross. Supposedly for life. Covid wiped out many things in our lives. And when reaching the end of life, suddenly having to make these choices truly sucks. Medicare Advantage HMOs are very much more affordable until it suddenly isn't. AND as I write this from the dentist office, we pay $100 per month for Cigna dental coverage.
