My husband and I just switched over to a Medicare Supplement Plan F from a MedAdvantage plan which was discontinued. Husband signed up with an insurance co. in the midwest and I signed up with one in NM. Coverage for both of us was supposed to start Jan. 1 and guess what? Already having huge problems with both companies. One is completely unresponsive with sending out membership cards, bank account withdrawal forms, etc. The other company sent me a letter saying they need to preauthorize every treatment I have even though it's a Medicare covered procedure! We're afraid we aren't going to get our medical bills paid. Anyone else running into problems like this?
I signed up with AARP supplement plan. I got my card in 10 days a long with the bill. I didn't get anything saying they had to preauthorize anything only that it has to be approved by medicare. I do have to wait for 3 months for any pre-existing condition that needs surgery.
They should have told you if they have to approve your treatment. You might want to call medicare and see if you have any options to change plans.
