[QUOTE="Shiftless, post: 4542066, member: 47472"] Actually "A" is mandatory. You can pick and choose your options on the others. In my case I am going for part B thru SS/Medicare. Not all UPS retiree's have the same type retirement healthcare insurance providers. Since my retirement, my insurance for healthcare has come thru UPS which I do pay a small amount monthly. Not the union. Some pay different amounts dependent on what your Teamster Conference negotiated for you. $2000 a year? I personally have never heard anyone having that high. I have heard that Advantage plans can be more costly. One thing I did hear a lot. Advantage plans have their place. BUT! Once on one trying to go away from them is a nightmare? [SIZE=5][B]Parts of Medicare[/B][/SIZE] Social Security enrolls you in Original Medicare (Part A and Part B). [LIST] [*]Medicare Part A (hospital insurance) helps pay for inpatient care in a hospital or limited time at a skilled nursing facility (following a hospital stay). Part A also pays for some home health care and hospice care. [*]Medicare Part B (medical insurance) helps pay for services from doctors and other health care providers, outpatient care, home health care, durable medical equipment, and some preventive services. Other parts of Medicare are run by private insurance companies that follow rules set by Medicare. [*]Supplemental (Medigap) policies help pay Medicare out-of-pocket copayment, coinsurance, and deductible expenses. [*]Medicare Advantage Plan (previously known as Part C) includes all benefits and services covered under Part A and Part B — prescription drugs and additional benefits such as vision, hearing, and dental — bundled together in one plan. [*]Medicare Part D (Medicare prescription drug coverage) helps cover the cost of prescription drugs. [/LIST] [/QUOTE]
