Unveiling the Secret Behind Dual Medicaid and Medicare Coverage - You Need to See This! 

So are all dual eligible people forced into some crappy Advantage plan or coordinated care (CCO) plan? I'm specifically asking about Oregon. I want help paying my Medicare premium, but want to keep original Medicare.

Hi Melissa. Thank you for making this video. I subscribed and hope you can get to 1,000. I just reached 1,000 and that's why I need to talk to you. I'm dual eligible and need help understanding income and asset limitations before I make a big mistake.

I have a medicare advantage SNP dual eligible plan and it is horrible. Nothing ever gets accomplished. Constantly getting bills that i have to figure out why this wasnt paid or why my portion was not submitted to my secondary which is Medi-ca! In california. Most of the providers in the snp network do not accept Medi-Cal. So why are they in my snp network if they dont even accept my california medicaid? The HMO doctors dont even look at you no matter what you are there for and just refer you to a specialist. Then you find out that a referral isnt good enough now you need an approva! From snp. Back to square one. Call the pcp and tell them to request the authorization which they say should take a week. A month goes by still no approval. Call the SNP they say they never got the request. Call the doctor they say they sent it but will resend it. Rinse and repeat. Its a nightmare! You can't get any care. Meanwhile you are sick or having pain and it simply goes untreated. Its a racket. Then theres the dreaded colonoscopy that they keep hounding everyone to get. Yeah, good luck with that. Two years in a row, two separate insurance companies did the exact same thing. You schedule the colonoscopy like months ahead because thats how backed up it is, and shortly before, and i mean shortly like a week or so before your scheduled procedure, it gets cancelled because for some reason the insurance company suddenly pulls back the authorization and wants you to reschedule at a different facility or with a different doctor. WHAT???? I waited 3 months for the procedure that they supposedly approved only to be denied at the last minute. Now you gotta start over and do it all again. Two years in a row, two different insurance companies so its pretty obvious its basically standard procedure for them to just avoid having to provide something the government says the have to pay for. Going through this now for the third time. Its never gonna get done. Even something as simple as xrays. Their provider network was not showing a facility within 100 miles where i could get them done. Ultimately went to a standard facility my pcp referred me to and my insurance is refusing to pay the bill even though i had called them 3 times and could not get an answer on where to go. Advantage plans are horrible. They spend the whole year passing you around and passing the buck and never really do anything to help you or provide the care you are paying for. They are taking government money to provide a plan that specializes in not allowing or paying for anything. Its a total scam. I have learned my lesson and I am done with Medicare Advantage.
