Naomi, Request my free mini-course on Medicare Advantage by entering your email address at the top right of this page. That will answer all your questions including the difference between plans like AARP Medicare Complete (a Medicare Advantage plan) and Medicare supplemental insurance. To get a enrollment kit for AARP MedicareComplete you would need to contact UnitedHealthCare.

My husband retired last April and I put him on my insuranc at work. I work part time and because of that my premiums are higher. My husband is a veteran and has been to the VA to see Doc for first time check up with them. Hes in very good health. I thought VA would be a supplementel INS like blue cross blue shield for example. My cost at work is so high and I am trying to research other options. I was recently told about AARP complete. No Premium. So does it pick up the 20% Medicare doesnt? We are new to medicare and yes we have the book but its just so confusing. Will this be as effective as, say, Blue Cross Blue Shield. He currently has Medicare part A, Does he have to get medicare part B and then apply for AARP complete. Can I get a booklet about AARP complete ? Thanks

Valerie, You may want to call UnitedHealthcare member services. Dentists that accept AARP Medicare Complete are few and far between in many areas.

I cannot find a list of Dentists in my provider directory and would like to sign up for the Deluxe Rider. I live in Orange County, CA. Where can I find this?

It’s true: While Chiropractic manipulations are a medicare covered service, Medicare Complete plays games with it. Customer Services claims that it is covered; provider services rejects it.

Be careful of this plan and this provider.

Tami, First, the Part B premium will need to be paid whether you are enrolled in an Advantage plan or not if you would like outpatient care covered by Medicare. Also, the enrollment period doesn’t end until December 7th. You can submit another application for a plan that is more suitable. The AARP MedicareComplete through UnitedHealthCare will be replaced.

If your household income is only $622 per month you should contact Social Security to apply for extra help.

Kimberly, you seem to be getting yourself worked up over a situation that is not going to happen. Original Medicare is not negated when you enroll in a Medicare Advantage plan. Bills will not go unpaid, Advantage plans are highly regulated. Whether or not you can use doctors in another State has to do with which type of plan you choose to join.

Helen, You’re not alon it seems like UnitedhealthCare’s AARP MedicareComplete plan has very few dentists in network. If your plan is a PPO you should be able to go out of network and still receive some benefit. Review your plan’s Summary of Benefits to to learn more.

Yes you can purchase a stand-alone dental policy and many people do just that.

Will signing up for Medicare Advantage or Complete negate the original Medicare? Will bills go unpaid and get sent to the elderly for payment? It seems a little ludicrous when most of them have fixed incomes. If a recipient lives in MS, are they allowed to use doctors and dentists across the state line in TN?
