I'm newly diagnosed and don't know what kind of medical expenses to expect with Parkinson's.

I have AARP UHC MEDICARE ADVANTAGE. Drugs are covered under the Advantage Plans. My Dr. is in network and my drugs are covered. If you are already in a straight Medicare supplement I wouldn’t change.

I agree, I wouldn't change. Many doctors don't participate in those plans. At least that's the case in Panama City, FL. However, we lost many doctors after the 2019 (or 2018) hurricane, so that could be the problem.

Thank you, Dale. Medication is the one thing I know for sure I'll need!

Thanks. I forget to eat so I get bunched up around pill time which explains why I am having diskenesia problems today!🙃
