Will be filling out my forms for Medi Care this weekend. I would like to continue my coverage with Kaiser as a supplementary insurance. I have this fear I might miss something when I read the two plans and will be stuck with my decision. Any suggestions on things I might want to take into consideration?

A is hospital  
B is Doctors  
D is drugs

Kaiser, as do all large insurance companies, undoubtedly offer supplemental plans to “fill in the gaps” in Medicare. they should have a “Call us with Medicare” questions number.
