(28,347 posts)I carry a secondary policy with Bankers Life to my Medicare. I am thankful for both.
Last June I had my right hip replaced, and was hospitalized for 5 days. Everything was covered. I paid nothing out of pocket. What a relief that was! I expected bill's to fly in from everybody and his brother, but it didn't happen.
Compare that to 2014, I was in the hospital for 11 days, and I'm still paying what Medicare didn't cover.
I have metastatic breast cancer, and go in every 28 days to the infusion clinic, and I have numerous PET scans, and monthly blood labs. Very costly, but with the added coverage, I am no longer racking up the out of pocket expenses. The relief is unimaginable. Of course, I pay around $350 monthly for the Medicare, Bankers Life, prescription coverage, and recently I added vision and dental coverage.
I wish you and all the best.
