Review of Samaritan Health Plans/HealthP...

I am on Medicare now and have Samaritan Advantage ...

I am on Medicare now and have Samaritan Advantage Premier Plus as my supplemental insurance. I love that it's local and affordable. I do wish the copays for specialists weren't as high, but I do understand having to raise our copays to $35, as Specialists have raised their prices so that their fees are astronomical. (However, they are in the Samaritan group.)
I'm glad premiums went down a little and that they added more features like a SamFit gym membership for free and more dental coverage. Now if they would add more vision coverage, it would be perfect!
Samaritan could offer vision insurance separately, I would definitely be happier because even though I'm a senior now, I still have the need to have my eyes checked and get new glasses.
My husband is going on Medicare soon and will be going with Samaritan Advantage, as he sees how happy I am being on it. It may come with a rare occasional frustration, but it is well worth having this provider as opposed to a big conglomerate provider.
In my opinion, I think the public on traditional insurance has more issues with any provider.
