I was approved for SSDI and Medicare this week. It will take effect in March. I am still on the payroll at the college so my premiums for Florida Blue will be paid until the end of the year. Then, I have the option to continue the Florida Blue (Blue Cross) at my own expense until I start getting Medicare. I will do this because both Shands and Mayo are covered, my deductible is very low and the co-pays are good. It's a great policy.
My question is, living in Florida, not a veteran, does anyone have any advice/info/recommendations on what type of insurance I need once I start getting medicare? Do I have to apply for Part B (I saw the form online) and get a Medigap policy? I take five or six different prescriptions each day.
If anyone has a recommendation, I'd love to hear it. I want to make sure my local neurologist is covered, both Mayo and Shands are covered, and I'm not paying a fortune for my prescription drugs.
I appreciate all comments. Thank you so much.
