Medicare vs private insurance confusion
I hope someone here knows something about this.
I went on medicare last summer Part A and Part B (B costs $240 per month) I also bought a private policy for drug costs. The private provider told me that in order to qualify for the drug benefit I had to buy their PPO medicare policy in addition to Part B.
Today I go to a specialist and give them both of my ID cards. They say "which one do you ant to use". HUH?
They say "you can't have two medicare policies". OK sez I,use my private insurance.
My question is why should I spend almost $3k a year for part B if my private insurance covers it anyway?
