[quote=Anonymous]Medicare Advantage plans are pretty sketchy and I would not be at all surprised if she is getting less than adequate health care on that type of insurance. One of the best things you could do to help her is try to get her on original Medicare with a supplemental plan. If she is truly low income she may qualify for Medicaid as her secondary insurance. Part C Advantage plans are typically marketed to gullible, less than savvy seniors, with bells and whistles that sound good but ultimately the insurance is not as good as original medicare. I know of one person who was excited to get a card to use at the drug store to buy OTC stuff every month until he actually got sick and needed care and labs and tests etc. and ended up owing over $8000 that year that the insurance didn't cover.[/quote]
