Re: Medicare
I received my Kaiser Senior Advantage benefits book for 2010 in the mail yesterday. Many preventive procedures like mamagrams, pap smears, prostate screening, colonoscopys, etc, had a co-pay of $20 to $100. They are now all free in 2010. I guess free preventitive medicine is cheaper than on-going cancer treatment.
My annual maximum out-of-pocket expense is going to be increased from $3350 to $3400. I can live with that.
Also, Tutu, I was looking at their drug formulary. A note said that if your drug is not on the formulary, contact them with an explanation why you need that particular drug. They said they look at each request on a case by case basis.
