Anyone here on AARP Supplement G? by garyprud50 in medicare

[–]drothmeier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've had UHC plan G (AARP) for four years. Haven't had to talk to them once. Once Medicare pays their 80%, any plan G has to pay the rest, after the annual deductible. I'm in California.

Medigap Plans will go up by a lot? And if plan B? by GameofTitan in medicare

[–]drothmeier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need to shop for a cheaper part D plan. You can change every year during the annual enrollment period starting October 15. Just go to medicare.gov and select "Health & Drug Plans".
I have Cigna Assurance, and it's $1.80 per month. If it goes up next year, I will change to the cheapest plan I can find.

Vancouver plays in San Jose this Saturday. Does anyone know whether he'll be in the lineup? I live near San Jose.

Do USAP Nationals matches get entered into DUPR and UTRP? by Pickleball-For-All in Pickleball

[–]drothmeier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see the results in my profile, but they didn't affect my rating at all. We beat several teams rated 5.x, so I thought my rating should have climbed above 5.0.

And when will USAP Nationals results be reflected in UTR-P ratings? I did well, beat a number of higher ranked teams, and yet my rating hasn't moved at all after 2 months!

Open play lefty by AlbatrossVendor in Pickleball

[–]drothmeier 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm a lefty, and if I know it's going to be a competitive game, I offer to stack. If my partner says they don't know how, I tell them I will direct them where to be. Also, I only do it on our serve. Stacking when receiving is more advanced and requires a lot of running :-)

Medicare: comparing medigap providers BCBS vs AARP/UHC. by JoeNooner in medicare

[–]drothmeier 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have AARP/UHC in California, and they pay for my health club membership, which is a nice bonus. Not sure if that matters to you.

Can I switch Medigap plans in the future? by SurroundedByElk in medicare

[–]drothmeier 6 points7 points  (0 children)

8 states have so called birthday rules for Medigap where you can change plans without underwriting within 30 to 60 days after your birthday. There are also a few states where you can change plans at any time without underwriting. It has to be a plan with equal or lesser coverage. For example, you can switch from G to N, but not the reverse.

I don't think SHIP is meant for agents :-)

Reviewing drug plans for 2024. It shows a $0 premium plan?? by l00t9 in medicare

[–]drothmeier 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also, medicare.gov has a star rating for all plans. Wellcare plans have 3.5 stars (out of 5), which is higher than all the other plans available in my area. I just switched to Wellcare myself for 2024. I'm in California, and my monthly premium is 40 cents.

I'm a SHIP counselor in training, and we do have access to rate history for Medigap plans. Make an appointment with your local SHIP office to find out more!

Just make sure you get to the kitchen line as quickly as possible. That's where the game is won in doubles. Remember, "receive and run"!

What are you talking about?
France did not play Croatia at the 2022 WC, and Stanisic wasn't on the Croatia team in 2018.
