[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 3690485, member: 5412"] I have a supplement to my Medicare. Although 95% of my medical needs are met by the VA, the age related macular in my left eye requires an injection every 5 weeks outside of the VA. The cost of the medicine alone is around $2000.00 plus the procedure and office visit. Total is close to 3K. Medicare pays $1100. I would be on the hook for the balance without the supplement, so the monthly costs for the supplement are negligible in the big picture. Another reason I opted for the supplement is because we travel 6-7 months of the year and VA facilities aren’t everywhere. If an illness or accident occurred, I’m covered. Those with advantage plans require a doctor/hospital to be in their network. If one is hospitalized out of network with a Dr out of network in another state or city, the advantage plans pay very little and can run up huge medical bills. [/QUOTE]
