Social Security Supplements
If you enroll in a SS Supplement that is included in your regular SS payments, how do you work out of area doctors and other things?

My wife and I have a Medicare supplement.
You pay it completely separate and it is not taken out of the SS.
it is the best coverage we have ever had.
I can pick any doctor or specialist I want, and I don't have to go to a primary one.
What ever medicare doesn't pay for is one hundred percent covered by my supplement.
there are several different supplement plans, but each one has coverages set forth by Medicare, so all you have to do is figure out which plan is the best for you, and then shop around for the cheapest insurance co.
In my state (NC) the state publishes a list on line the costs of each insurer, so there is no need to go through a broker.
Depending on your age, it is approximately $2,000 a year
