Anybody have Medicare Advantage?

1. We have it

It's a union retirement benefit that pays what Medicare doesn't, but we still pay out-of-pocket for part of some doctor visits.

Instead of checks coming from Medicare to the doctor, they go to Highmark, the outfit that the union benefit is named. Not sure of how it all works, but if I go the doctor's and give them my medicare card, the bill comes back as denied. Everything has to go to Highmark Advantage and they send the bills to Medicare.

There are supplementals from lots of places, AARP, and some that advertise on TV. But ours is free so I don't know which plan is best.
