Dear Editor:
News articles about a California Health Care Foundation survey confirm trends that Medicare HMO members are well aware of – premiums are going up while benefits are being reduced.
Many seniors might question their plan and wonder if it is really the best health coverage for them. I would like to recommend the Personal Plan Finder on the Medicare Web site (medicare.gov) which helps users compare plans based on eligibility and preferences.
It includes detailed information about Medicare, Medicare HMOs and Medigap and estimated monthly out-of-pocket expenses for each plan. I found it extremely helpful and easy to navigate. You can also call 1-800-Medicare (1-800-633-4227) and a Customer Service Representative can mail you this information.
I hope others may also benefit from this service so they can get the best possible health coverage.
