Is anybody going to be taking advantage of the upcoming AEP and switch their current plans? If you are, what are you currently on and what are you switching too? I'm currently on a Medicare Advantage plan, but I'm finding that my prescription drug coverage is not good... thinking of switching back to Original Medicare and getting a stand alone PDP... thoughts?
Medicare expenses under these programs are paid for by Medicaid. Eligibility criteria for Medicaid when you have Medicare is not the same as when someone only has Medicaid.
Income and resource criteria are at the link below. If you are a little over the limits. You still need to apply because some states vary in their limits..
