My comments are:
1) rename Medicare Advantage – it is not Medicare, but private insurance. Companies are taking advantage of the name being associates with Medicare.
2) investigate Medicare Advantage plans for coverage of home infusion therapy. I was denied with AARP Advantage program and only with a lot of effort got it paid for ultimately.
3) require all Medicare Advantage providers to issue a better disclaimer than current in that they are not affiliated with traditional Medicare & offer explanation of why & what an individuals options are within their promotion
4) Stop the calls from people trying to sell Medicare Advantage programs. We get 6-8 per day!
