(73,313 posts)i have a uhc medigap. i was looking for a new doc, and very very sick of docs, 1 of whom said to my face, that my problem was my age. there r several oak st health clinics here, and they r medicare only.
so i went there to see what i thought.
the place gave me the creeps. the waiting room reminded me of a timeshare showroom. they have nice green cars theyll ferry u around in if thats on your plan. they push u to use any and all parts of your plan- gym memberships, money for groceries, etc.
from the outside, i thought- oh theyre trying to take good care of seniors. hmm.
my 1st visit, w an ap nurse i was assured they had relationships w lots of specialists. when i came back because i was getting sicker i was told- we dont have docs for that.
it was so obvious that they were about milking every dime from the program. they were always mailing me stuff, texting this and that.
ftr, i just had a huge surgery, week in the hospital, lots of tests. dont even know how much the total was. my copay for the hospital was $2k. $5000 test had a $50 copay.
the dental plan, otoh, rejects shit for fun.
