I've seen the ads, but never with the sound turned up. I believe it's a benefit of switching to a medicare advantage plan from the company that's offering the plan. Some advantage plans have other benefits like vision, dental, etc, depending on what you go with. From the visuals I'd say the marketing approach is border line of being deceptive.
Highly unlikely from Medicare or an advantage plan. Some will give you a flex benefit of up to $200 or so, but nothing more. This is likely a bait and switch to get info or talk you into something.
Could be an advantage plan or a brokerage for multiple advantage plans. The reason I believe it could be is that we almost signed up for one a couple years ago. I should say my wife, as I wasn't on medicare yet. We got a call one afternoon from company X, which was my wife's supplement company. Since it was her company I handed her the phone. The person on the other end was talking about all the advantages of the plan which did include $500 for groceries, and there was something else, like a pharmacy benefit, also vision and dental stuff. We were assured our doctor was on the list of providers...She was also assured she had 30 days to switch back so she agreed to it.
Yes.
Thanks for the link. In our case that explains the grocery card offer, because my wife had a qualifying medical condition, and since it was her supplemental insurance company they would have known that.
i'm wondering if you're right cuz i don't see anything in the searches except articles on scam stuff. that's too bad. i wonder how many people click on that stuff and get fooled into something.
If you want my POV, don't take any chances with it.
thank you for posting that.
hadn't planned on it was just curious cuz it keeps popping up and i had a hard time believing medicare would be so generous.
