Social Security & Medicare

Shall I start with the nearly $80,000 hospital bill when I had a heart attack in 2020 that I paid $800? Shall I continue with prescriptions that I pay about $10.00 for? Shall I do on with other doctor visits that cost nothing at all or very little?

I don't understand why people here trash Advantage plans. They would not be right for everyone, but they are very right for some people. I have been very happy with mine.

A few days ago I got a notice that I was being refunded $95.00 from some sort of overcharge for something medical. Not enough information was included for me to have any clue exactly what was being refunded. Sigh.

About a decade ago I got a check for a refund for something medical, and I spent time trying to figure out what was going on. I didn't want to cash a check I wasn't entitled to. Eventually I learned that a copay from when I'd broken my arm more than a year earlier, should not have been charge to me, and so I happily cashed the check. The most interesting thing was that the people I contacted were utterly astonished that I was questioning the refund. Honestly, I didn't want to accept a refund I wasn't entitled to. Although it was quite nice to get it.
