This Medicare supplement stuff is sure tricky! Remember all the research I did back in 2017, turning 65 when I purchased low cost Bankers Fidelity! It was for a few years but then had a growth spurt I wish my investments could match! Thanks for the replies!

Wondering if anyone was able to find a new supplement provider after being declared cancer free. I have been shopping for a new supplement provider for myself mostly. I am in good health with very few doctor visits. When I asked Atena about my wife who is cancer free for over 10yrs...

Something to think about. Thanks! Leaning toward giving IOWA SHIP a call and maybe Boomer Benefits. Not sure if SHIP will be able to tell me if a company is known for closing the book on a class of people. Great forum thanks!

Texas Proud When you got your quote from Aetna was it Atena supplement or another company through Aetna. That is where I am confused with my call from Atena. When I was on Atena site I filled out my info for supplement and when I received the call they said they were from Atena but he was...

Thanks for the replies. But still wondering if it is the norm when I contact Aetna and they push Aflec plus the representative had other companies he could recommend. Sounded more like a broker then Atena representative and was looking for anyone who has had experience with Atena. He did...

If I switch Medicare supplement providers do I have contact old provider to cancel or is it like when you switch drug companies in new year the previous provider is automatically cancelled. If it is my responsibility, is it by certified letter or can I email them? If I go through a supplement...

Sengsational..... thanks for pointing out the pricing. Went back to IOWA SHIP and Bankers and Aetna are Attained age where I believe AARP UHC is community priced. If I understand it right let's say in 12yrs I will pay $250 until then I get a discount which for 72 is 35% and it is a smaller...

Comparing prices at Aetna and AARP for a G supplement for 72yr old. I figured Aetna would have their own supplements but instead they go through other companies and the price I was quoted was from AFLEC through AETNA at $123 a lot cheaper than what i pay at Bankers Fidelity. I found a post...

Thanks for the replies. In the past I have received income verification checks from the VA and was notified I would have to pay the deductible. Should I change to VA I was planning to keep my medicare A&B was just planning to save the supplement G payment. One concern I have is since it is the...

Im 71 and good health and just received my Bankers Fidelity Prim. increase to $250 for g. I was notified several years ago that I qualified for VA Health priority 8 with deductibles. I have trouble making the move because presently I can go to any doctor anywhere in the States that take...

My wife had a stem cell transplant years ago at Mayo with great results. We go yearly for check ups. She is on medicare and supplement g with no issues but I would think it would depend on your doctor. The Mayo campus is pretty big with three main sections. Mayo clinic, the Gonda building and...

Appreciate the comments! Next time I book direct online I will have to be sure Im logged into my account to see if I get points even if I dont take the members rate. I just assumed I had to take members rate to get points. Thanks again.

Dont stay at hotels very often but when I do compare prices I usually find member prices $7 to $10 dollars higher then the AARP or senior price. Im aware that using the member prices I build up points toward a free stay but it takes around 17000 points to get that benefit so it would take...

One winter had to replace Merc 8 after a couple months because furnace would shut down. That was the winter I purchased an ultrasonic humidifier. The humidifier would give out a white powder which plugged filter. Got rid of ultrasonic humidifier.

We have Consumer Cellular and get AARP discount. Use it when pricing hotels but not different then Senior discount.

Start with New Testament. The OT can be a rough read. With stories of giants and husband passing their wife off as sisters so he is not killed. Offering virgin daughters to a mad crowd that wants to rape a male stranger (and the crowd is one of the 12 tribes) and then cutting his slave up in...

Dont watch Disney Espn ABC but like the $15 discount. Hope it takes a while to come to an agreement. :dance:

Just a little update. After a week I finally got my wyze cam going. My first problem was I wasn't pushing hard enough on the set up button thinking I would break through the coating. Then I couldnt connect to wifi network. After trying different things over a week period I decided to just...

I got to the next step .Now when I scan the code it will not connect to wifi. But a step in the right direction. My life used to be soooo much easier before all these toys.

Little update ....I received a wyze cam but having trouble connecting to my phone, Presently in a forum trying to figure out why it will not connect after red light flashes and I push setup tab. Could be my phone. Wil try wifes phone next. Hers is a a little smarter phone then mine so will...

Thanks everyone I have so options to think about.

Thank you for some great replies.

I have read in the past of placing a large thermometer in front of a camera and checking in remotely to see if the furnace is still running when on a trip. Dont really need a camera for security just a means to check on temp and have a clock to see if power ever went off. Was wondering if...

Four years ago sold a Casita trailer for $12000 cash only. Cash only was recommenced on Casita Trailer forum. I turned around and bought a boat for $10000 and seller wanted cash only. Getting to be a standard way of safely buying and selling.

I'm truly afraid to start involving the DW in our investments decisions because I will suddenly learn I have been doing it the wrong way over the last 35 years.
