Plan C Medicare Supplement Insurance
In most of our articles we recommend the Plan F or Plan G Medigap policies. However, in the state of Pennsylvania we recommend the Plan C Medicare Supplement since "Excess Charges" are not allowed. This particular Medicare Supplement policy provides similar coverage to the Plan F but it does not cover excess charges. Since the state of Pennsylvania does not allow hospitals/physicians to bill excess charges this is unnecessary coverage.
Drug Supply - Prescription Drug Plans
Recently we had a client call us to let us know that the co-pay originally quoted with the Humana Part D plan was twice as high as originally projected. A little surprised and hoping we did not mess up when researching the drug supply, I asked him for the name of the prescription and the drug dosage.
