About Me

I'm currently a kaiser senior patient in Colorado, but trying to switch early to original medicare. I have an Oct 1st eval appointment at Cleveland clinic and even though I won't qualify for any medigap coverages at least until after needed mitral valve repair, I feel it's important to use some of my savings to go to CC for this surgery. I'm 69, recently retired RN, so understand just enough to be very scared!
