I do not think you have to qualify as a senior. I have just checked with them and there is no age requirement to use their services. I think they just tend to market to seniors. I do not know why because many younger people might have a problem operating the phone if not used to a smart phone.

They also work with AARP.

I have checked with Great Call and they say they work with Medicare Advantage, Medicare and Medicaid, IF there are provisions within the policy.
If you call them, please do speak to a supervisor, as many of their representatives do not seem to know anything about this.

The one thing I do not like about phones is the monthly charge. It can take a lot out of monthly budgets.

I also highly recommend the Kindle Fire, which is a one time fee and works off of your wifi. they are offered at Amazon both new and refurbished.

Re: ~Christina's advice: I do believe the insurance companies, esp Medicare and Medicaid must offer simply telephone calls for telemedicine by pdocs, at least during this National Emergency. I know my pdoc offers either video or simply the phone and she gets paid...and I have one of the most difficult insurers in the U.S.

Medicare/Medicaid should be able to answer that question for sure.

I hope something fits your needs without breaking the bank!
