    I’ve had Plan G since 2023. I paid a deductible of $226 at the beginning of the year. I was in the ER 2 xs, urgent care a few times, CT scans, knee surgery, etc., never received an additional bill.

      ​@ChrisSadowski-pp1np Yep my plan G is great about paying everything that Meducre doesn't but the premium keeps going up every year.When my husband passed away suddenly back in 2014, I lost 2/3 of my income. My plan which cost me around 135.00 when I retired, now costs me 289.00. I'm trying to live on my Social Security check. I am on a strict budget I can't afford the annual deduction and with the price of food going up and up, I can't afford enough groceries to last the month. I am in very bad health now so I can't switch to another company because the very second I type in heart failure they turn me down. I'm also trying to support my 50 year old manic depressive/ many other mental problems that I applied fir Social Security disability years ago and they turned him down. I'm 77 years old. 97 percent deaf, can't drive anymore by doctors orders. Can't afford a car and upkeep anyway. I'm stressed to the limit. I can't afford to live anymore

I have done lots of things in my life but never hung out at Doctors because I have PLAN F that I still have, but no one can get it anymore.

      Same for my Mom who rarely went to a doctor. My sister got her switched to a G plan to lower the premiums. A couple of years later she had a major medical event that cost a fortune surprisingly the part B deductible didn’t cause her to not get medical care🙄 It’s just an excuse to transfer some of the costs to the individual.

      I have Medicare because of disability and have plan F also. The monthly premium is very high, $545.00 to be exact! I've had several surgeries, MRI's, xrays, Cat scans, PT, and have to see 3 different specialists , plus an upcoming spinal fusion in the near future. Although the monthly premium is high, I still feel it's worth paying considering my health. I've had plan F since 2011 and grateful for it since no one can get it anymore. I do wonder if I am paying too much but if I change, I lose F. I have a more years of being somewhat healthy than not.

    • @hughmura6676

      Plan F is still available to those who are retiring and were eligible for Medicare up to Jan 1, 2020. So my brother just retired on Oct 31, 2024 at age 71, and got Plan F, effective Nov 1, 2024. His birth year is 1953, so he was eligible for Medicare in 2018, but was still working, so he got Medicare Part A, but waited for Part B when he retired.

    I've been on an ACA plan since 2021 and looking forward to going on a Medicare+Plan N next month! Found a Part D for 2025 that covers most my Rx. No More Networks!! Did some homework and I see a PCP and 9 specialists. None of them would be on the SAME Part C Network, so I don't want to start changing doctors (again). Also, turning 65 next month means that my Medigap plan will be the cheapest ever, with lower premium increases as I get older (no medical underwriting for now). Now, ALL of this could change in 2026, depending on what the new U.S. Administration does (RFK Jr in charge?!?!) next year.

    I have G & am switching to N. The annual percentage increases in the long run are lower on N. Yes, you will pay $20 for a md visit but so what? You are paying less per month and u will get a smaller raise every year! And there is no $20 copay for bloodwork, ct scans, physical therapy. There is only a $20 copay to actually see the md. And $50 for an emergency room visit - how often does that happen-plus it gets waived if the hospital admits you. Your monthly premiums go up every year till u die.

    My husband, a Vietnam Veteran who was in the area where agent orange was sprayed. He only survive until now because we live healthy life style and taking lots of nutritional supplements, and these cost us a lot of money. He only gets 60% VA compensation recently; hardly enough to meet our needs. Infant, he is in Utah right now to start a job at age 77 because we can't survive in the income we are getting now. I am so sorry He has to do this. But he is so proud not to take handouts. Being Texas Ranger, the original, he is willing to suffer.

If you continue it each year u can't be cancelled nor singled out for a higher premium if u get sick or use it alot or have mant claims.

With my bills, the cost for one of the plans you list are way too expensive. Also, according to much research and ongoing information many hospitals are closing nationwide as well as numerous nursing layoffs. The medical environment is changing drastically. Hospitals and Doctors are high risk negative facilities not there to help patients in the least. Holistic care has always been my plan.

    The problem with all of them, even the 'cheap' Plan G, is that as you get older the cost will increase, generally every 6 months, and they are no longer cheap. But the alternative of getting a bill for tens of thousands of dollars is not real great either.

    Our local Blue Cross (supposedly non-profit) offers Plans G and N on a community rated basis. Both cost over $400 per month (2024 rate) and surprisingly, plan N costs $27 MORE per month than Plan G. They do NOT offer a Part D plan, so one has to go elsewhere for that at a average in this area of over $100 per month, although there are some less expensive plans. Five hundred plus dollars a month in premiums make area Advantage plans look fairly good, even after this year's benefit reductions. There are two non-profit Advantage providers with a choice of about a dozen plans overall, plus at least a half dozen profit-making providers.

      I suggest you call the Dr. Weir`s Chapter Medicare advisor. They should know you states guidelines for how/when to switch. This way they could best help you. There are 2 main differences between Plan F and Plan G. First, Plan G is not responsible for your cost of the Part B deductible, you will pay that difference for you Part B services only. This year it was $240. Once that is done, it will pay the same as Plan F. Secondly, Plan F is now closed. There will no longer be any new enrollees who turn 65 after 2020 which can/will drive up monthly premium costs year over year. Best wishes.

    • @RG-hf4et

      I think the only difference between F & G is F pays your deductible & G doesn't. And you are paying a lot more $$$ for that simple service. I just had open heart surgery on G. I paid the small deductibles & had NO added bills. I went thru a million tests, scans, bloodwork, catherization, 7 days in the hospital, followups, echocardiograms, home nursing visits, etc....I was very comfortable & secure on G. I hope that helps you. BTW, I am single & totally alone, too. We are in the same boat.

      Not going to a doctor for 35 years can mean that a simple problem is not diagnosed before it becomes a major issue. The trouble with deciding what to do for insurance is not knowing what will happen in the future. I was in great health and suddenly developed a very rare condition that required a hospital stay, several specialists, and a very expensive drug that needed to be taken weekly for 8 months. i was fortunate enough to be thoroughly insured. If I had relied upon being healthy for most of my life and had minimal insurance, I would have had to spend many thousands of dollars. With the insurance, I got back all of the premiums I paid, many times over.

      It depends. If you're new to Medicare turning 65, then you will be in the initial enrollment period. This is known as the IEP. There is no medical underwriting required and it doesn't matter what pre-existing that you have whatsoever. But there's a time frame: 3 months prior to your 65th birthday, the month of your 65th birthday, and within in 3 months after 65th birthday. If you worked past 65 and retired, then you have the special enrollment period known as the SEP. That window is 8 months after you quit working. There are some other special circumstances and situations that can apply. Therefore, if you want Plan N in without medical underwriting you will need to contact your state SHIP office to see if you qualify. Other than that, switching for Medicare Advantage to a supplement plan or a supplement plan to a different letter supplement plan would require medical underwriting for the majority of states.
