We spend about 6 months of the year at our second home in a different county of our state (CA). We want to have coverage in both counties(not just emergency). We had Blue Cross PPO all of last year which was cancelled. Is another one available?

I have requested twice that you fax me at the letter that terminates my coverage effective 12-31-10 because BCBS is no longer offering the program. My new carrier needs this letter asap

Thanks,

Joan, Sign up for the free mini-course on Medicare Advantage plans on the home page of this site, it will help you sort out the differences between a Medicare supplement and a Medicare Advantage plan. Getting to your question about saving money… With an Advantage plan you do have the option to save money on the monthly premium if you choose the right plan. But depending on your usage and the plan chosen, you could find yourself with medical expenses rivaling the Medicare supplement premium.

Since you have and understand a supplement, maybe you should get some specific Advantage plan information so you can compare benefits. AARP Medicare Complete often offers a plan with a $0/month premium. Or if you still have a relationship with the Blue Cross Blue Shield agent who sold you the supplement, you could contact him or her and ask about 2011 Blue Cross Medicare Advantage plans in Oklahoma.
