From what I see every day, it seems like medicare supplements basically cover nothing. i am hoping the people that see this though, are just on the very cheapest plans I don't know. I can't see the cost of their premiums, only what the plan covers/doesn't cover. my mom is on a rather expensive plan that covers everything pretty much at zero cost to her except her premium. we're looking for something not quite that wonderful, but somewhere between I guess.

Ugh. Not fun. My parents did okay on their supplemental insurance, but they each chose different ones based on their needs (my Mom takes way more medications than my Dad for example, but my Dad is a cancer survivor etc). They seem to do okay. I guess there are some decent ones out there. I know it doesn't pay everything but they don't complain about the donut hole and stuff. I'm sure my Mom falls into it with her meds, but maybe she got a really good plan. I hope you can get it figured out. Not fun for sure. On a separate note, tangically, me and another guy at work have to figure out what medical plans to offer this year at work. I'm really hoping we keep the one we have this year because it is really good. After about 4 months, all my meds were covered. I've never had that before. Zero copays after four months. It's great. I guess I hit the maximum threshold or something. HUGS Kit
