AARP and other companies have been marketing Medicare “Advantage” and “Complete” programs, touting the benefits of such insurance programs and how “valuable” they have become to senior citizens. These programs are not the same as “Original” Medicare so beware of the sales pitches.
The marketing companies don’t bother to mention the salesmen (and pharmacies) make a commission from each person they sign-up. Additionally, for many reasons, Access MD does not accept Medicare Advantage/Complete. So before signing up with any insurance company for one of these programs, please do your homework on the impact they may have on your healthcare.
