I switched from a UnitedHealthcare supplemental plan with separate dental and prescription coverage to an AARP Medicare Advantage plan, which included dental, drug and vision coverage. When I tried to make use of the dental I discovered that a huge percentage of the dentists listed were not at the numbers and addresses listed and/or didn’t accept the insurance. This is false advertising and should not be allowed to continue. Can anyone provide me with a website the government offers to file official complaints? Thank you.

Elimination of Doctors for No Reason and Incorrect Information Given
My husband got a letter that our primary care doctor will no longer be in the plan for 2014. I never received a letter for me. We called the doctor and they said they were taken off the list, not them stopping the use of the AARP plan. Called United Health Care and they made an arbitrary decision to select fewer doctors and claim it is to our advantage. NOT TRUE. Also asked questions about other doctors and services and was given the wrong information. Asked for a list of doctors in the plan and was given doctors that I did not see when I did the search. No explanation given.
We aware that most Advantage Plans are doing the same and you don’t have much time to figure out other options. Additionally other options are more expensive. I checked all the advantage plans in this area and my doctor is not on them. He states the advantage plans are taking a new approach to managing the providers for the advantage plans, which means they are eliminating doctors and give you a smaller selection. BEWARE. Asked to speak to a supervisor and was told they would call back within 24 hours. Would not give me email or phone number to contact anyone higher up. Have not received this phone call as I suspected.
It Is a Rip-Off
AARP keeps advertising to lobby congress to keep Medicare, not that they are concerned about the public, they are only interested in keeping to profit with their supplement with United Healthcare. My current cost for Medicare is $1259/year, the supplement with United Healthcare (AARP) is another $2484.00/year and the prescription cost another $740.00/year.
My total cost for Medicare is $4483/year and is increasing at a rate of 6% per year. Over the last 7 years I have been on Medicare and SS they have paid out almost $2954 total and took in almost $31,381.00. I know of several families who Medicaid and pay nothing. Now this is entitlement!
