Members shared their varied experiences with Medicare Advantage plans for rheumatoid arthritis treatment, with some finding coverage helpful for biologics and infusions after meeting annual deductibles, while others expressed frustration with limitations and considered switching plans. Several members highlighted the importance of comparing plans during open enrollment, noting differences in deductibles, copays, and medication costs, with some finding better coverage through specific insurers like United Healthcare, Scan, or traditional Medicare with supplemental plans. A recurring theme was gratitude for programs like Extra Help and Medicaid that fill coverage gaps, along with appreciation for insurers that proactively reach out to help members access every benefit they qualify for.

Thank you all for the comments!
Maggie, I can handle if I get a low deductible like that. I'm just grateful the Medicare kicked in this month since the medicaid is ending this month.

I never heard of this particular plan. However I would love to share with you all , because my income is so low in California I qualify for all of my medical expenses through Kaiser’s Charitable Trust Fund. However I have to pay my monthly premiums of $84.00! Another interesting fact , through the 8 years I have been on Kaiser theirs is the only premium which has consistently gone down by over$30! I am extremely happy with my choice. It allows me to live a terrific lifestyle on less than $30k annually and my rent is over $1000 monthly plus Cable over $120 and electricity over $100.California is so expensive to live.! But my 2 children and four grandkids live here so I won’t be leaving! Hope this sharing is helpful. Paula
