Plan G Deductible/plan Change Mid Year from F

[JaBrooklyn]

Wouldn't that be covered under F?

Plan F also pays the 20% for a long list of other Part B services. This includes durable medical equipment, lab work, tests, mental health care, home health, chiropractic adjustments "

They would be covered. The original question was about hitting the Part B deductible with a Plan F and then switching to a Plan G, which doesn't cover the Part B deductible, but you'd already be past it for the year. So if you hit the deductible in January you'd have paid maybe an extra $30 or so one time for a benefit of $166. It's $183 for 2017, but this thread is over a year old.

Someone will resurrect it in 5 years and start off by stating the deductible is wrong.

Double check your area. UHC just began offering the G plan in my area.

5 years from now they will end G as well, only N

I don't see that happening as long as there's a cost-sharing mechanism, that they can raise when they need to (Part B deductible), to prevent over-consumption - ...
