I am planning on getting whatever reconstructive/skin removal surgeries that insurance will cover. I just received notice that my insurance is changing to NY Medicaid and Medicare.

My question is, should I stay with Medicare or go to a Medicare Advantage plan? Who is easier to deal with and covers more? My choices are: Empire MediBlue Essential ***, UnitedHealthcare MedicareComplete Choice Essential (Regional PPO) or just plain Medicare. The Medicaid stays just Medicaid whichever way I go.

I would stick with just plain Medicare and Medicaid. When you chose those other plans usually you are not covered for certain Drs or services. I left mine as just plain Medicare with Medicaid. I live in ulster county but all my Drs are in Sullivan and Orange County. My dr was dr Seth Judd
