[QUOTE="donna723, post: 470039, member: 1883"] Wow, Janet! I'll have to check in to that with the glasses! Thank you! My frames are still good - I just need the exam and probably different lenses. When you're within a few months of going on Medicare, they absolutely bombard you with brochures and advertising for different plans and it gets so confusing! In fact, a year later, I'm still getting junk mail and offers from several different companies. Total info overload! I went through everything and figured and refigured and refigured again. Anything "HMO-like" where you have to go to [I]their[/I] doctors is no good for me. This is a very small town and I would have had to drive an hour and a half to get to anything! None of the supplement plans I checked were less than $130-$140 a month. I had almost decided on one when, at the very last minute, I got a letter about a supplement plan for retired State employees - didn't know they even had one! It's $120 a month but the State picks up $37 of that so I only pay $83 a month and they take that out of my pension check each month. But counting the Medicare costs, the supplement and Rx plan, I'm still paying over $200 a month for [I]less[/I] coverage than I had when I paid $90 a month for medical insurance when I was working.
