I have written to the AZ Dept of Insurance, HSAG, HealthNet & various congressmen bout the 14,000 dollars worth of expenses we incurred due to HealthNet's failure to advise us of or honor Medicare's coverage for my husband's illness. No one so far has been able to or seen fit to even make an effort to assist us in recouping even part of this expense. HSAG is still working on the case, but not for any monetary recompense, only to chastise HealthNet, if they find cause. This sort of dealing seems a real travesty to us & I wonder how many other older patients have been fleeced in this manner. Why is no one investigating? Too much lobby payola?

Medigap insurance, also known as Medicare Supplement Insurance, is a type of private health insurance that helps cover some of the costs that Original Medicare doesn't pay for, such as copayments, coinsurance, and deductibles. It is sold by private insurance companies and works alongside Original Medicare to provide additional coverage. There are different Medigap plans available, each offering different levels of coverage, so it's important to compare options carefully to choose the one that best meets your needs.
As a US citizen residing in Canada, you may face limitations when it comes to purchasing supplementary insurance for US Medicare services.

That way, you can find coverage for the 20% not covered by Medicare while you are in the US.
