Supplement Medicare plan questions

I have the easy pay plan and get no statements. Maybe you need to go paperless with Medicare?

I thought we had to wait until DH started SS for those to go away, and by then my Medicare would have started sending paper bills.

I think your earlier post about this was why I thought it was not much different... but reading the article it seems that is can be...
