I am a newbie who's written some MAPD plans but, going forward, want to focus on Med Supps. Well, before I even got my feet wet with the Med Supps, an acquaintance has asked if I can help him find a cheaper way to get his Medicare coverage than his Blue Cross/Blue Shield Illinois supplement/PD that is costing him > $300/month.
He's in his early 70's and is diabetic (no insulin). Has 5 stents and had major back surgery (unsuccessful) about 3 years ago. He was advised (now a bit over 2 years ago) by his ortho that another surgery is needed and recommended. He refuses to have that recommended surgery. He does not take any meds related to pain or his back. His meds consist of metformin for diabetes and then several cardiovascular drugs.
I welcome anyone's insights. Thanks
