We absolutely love our primary care doctor, as well as our other doctors, so we didnt want a plan with limited doctors to choose from. So far, our plans have worked out well. I think having a good established relationship with our doctors makes good sense, especially at our age. I bet you feel the same way......

However, I am doing research now for better Part D prescription plans. I hate having to meet our $480 yearly deductibles before either plan even pays one dollar of our prescriptions. My prescriptions don't even total $480 for the entire year, so I feel like we are throwing our money away by paying those premiums. I hope we can find plans that work better for us. I will keep looking.

The whole Medicare supplement experience can be stressful because of all the options available. I hope you continue to get good care with your plan.

I really appreciate that you asked the question you asked. I am always learning, and DUers are a wealth of great information!

Enjoy your weekend, ER!
