Medicare Advantage for Full Timers?
Is there any program out there for those of us on Medicare to take advantage of the benefits of a Medicare Advantage program when travelling? I like the low Dr visit copays and routine care savings.

I figure that I'd only need emergency and urgent care while out on the road. I'll be back home to do the regular visits. It's my meds that's the issue, but I think I can get around that by getting three month supplies at a time, and using a mail forwarding service.
That's exactly how our med. advantage worked for us. Our mailing address was in California. We sent for our prescriptions while out on the road and we returned to Calif. each year to see our Dr.s and renew our prescriptions.
We spent 3 years full timing with no problems and that included my suffering a stroke while visiting Alabama. I spent 3 days in the hospital and worried how our insurance would handle it.
No problem. They covered nearly everything...
I don't know how medicare advantage will work in the future, as the healthcare system may be in for a change, but it did work great for us while we traveled..
