In reply to the discussion: Large Hospital Groups Cancelling Contracts with Medicare "Advantage" Carriers [View all]Freddie
(9,759 posts)39. My daughter is a home-care RN Case Manager
She HATES the Advantage plans. Bean-counters always trying to limit care, second-guessing doctors and nurses. She has to fight them to get patients - mostly elderly, just discharged from the hospital- the number of home care visits they need. Says Traditional Medicare never does. We took her advice and signed up for Traditional with an AARP supplement. So far so good.
