Medicare Advantage health plans leave seniors scrambling for alternatives
Greg Coffman, president of Insurance Planning Alternatives Inc., 315 N. Seventh St., said there are options for some who have been impacted by all this. He said the problem isn’t just with Rocky, but other Advantage plans that other insurers offer.
Coffman said it isn’t just the lower reimbursement rates, which can be as high as a 27% reduction for some providers, that’s the sole issue.
It’s also the requirement to get pre-authorization for most medical procedures that’s causing paperwork headaches for medical providers.
