Thread regarding AT&T layoffs

Looking to Medicare in 2023. My vision is AT&T will have everyone take the UHC Advantage plan and give the $300 for dental/vision. In my zip code, I have an Aetna Advantage plan for zero cost, includes dental and vision, and all my generic dr-gs are no cost to me. Always keep our options open. Navigating the right choice is the worse. What I see is Advantage plans are good for healthy people, however those who see doctors frequently, and have lots of issues, do better with a medigap plan F or G.

Plan on not getting The 4200 and hope they extend it.

All retirees are on borrowed time with any and all health care subsidies currently provided by T. Stankey and Santone are working feveroushly to eliminate all subsidies currently in place. We can all look back and say "I remember when".

I can’t say from personal experience, but I am hearing from most people that have the UHC Advantage plan that they are quite happy with it.

You just know that $4300 payment with HRA is not going to be there beyond next year. Nothing official yet but the writing is on the wall.

On $0 AARP UHC and using the HRA to reimburse Medicare part B. So, the balance is accumulating.

As far as AT&T's plan, there is very good stuff there, if one has a chronic illness. In particular, there is language that suggests a maximum out-of-pocket on prescription costs. But it conflicts with other language.

Healthy, so I don't need that plan. The HRA contains a safeguard - after prescription costs reach $5000, the next $100,000 out of pocket is reimbursed. The prescription costs can bankrupt you just as easily as the medical costs. I see some stuff at $350K a year.

If the HRA goes away, but the AT&T UHC continues, that would be a very interesting offering, particularly if it provides for a Part D cap.

Check out a group on Facebook called "ATT Retiree Issues", tons of Medicare documentation and posts. You'll get more info than you'll ever need.
