I will be getting an extra 1.6% come January. For me, it is about $10. Better than nothing, I guess. I will take it.
Cost of Living Adjustment. Think of it as a raiseI have no idea what COLA except maybe a pop!

Got our notice of increase today, didn't expect much & wasn't disappointed. oldmontana something I didn't know about Medicare Advantage. It's different depending on where you live. Ours has zero cost for Primary & Specialists.
I see that in Montana Humana has a Medicare Advantage plan that has zero costs. Humana also has plans that cost about the same as BC/BS. Our local agent has both BC/BS and Humana .
I guess its what you want covered.
Not sure what you mean about coverage. As an example I had my cervical spine completely rebuilt, rehab for care needed, weeks of therapy meds for pain. Zero cost to me including the hospital charges. Yearly vision check up, & hearing test no charge. Teeth good, two cleanings no cost. If & that is a big if I ever have an expensive co-pay for something I have an HSA account that has been un-used for over 15 years that the company I worked for pays into in lieu of insurance premiums. My wife has a separate Soc. Sec. & Medicare acct. & is covered under that HSA . Her Medicare Advantage plan is the same as mine.

What is the plan and the company that you have? What state? And how does that company pay for your claims if they have no revenue?
OK thanks. Your plan is not the typical basic Humana plan.Medicare Advantage is thru Humana.
The HSA or Health Savings Account for those not Familiar with the acronym.
The payer into the account is a Utility company that contracts with VIA benefits. If I need to submit a claim I fill out a form, mail it to them and usually within two weeks whatever was submitted is directly deposited into our checking account.
That set up was part of my early retirement package along with a 250k life insurance policy & a hefty pension. Sort of a golden parachute for lesser management.
