Big Guy, and your retired military eligible for Tricare4Life? My husband is so we have basic Medicare and Tricare is our secondary. It pics up the 20% Medicare doesn't pay. We don't pay a cent. My CPAP supplies are under Medicare, my husband's under VA which is completely free.

I don't know much about it, as I didn't have any service-connected injuries or disabilities.

Thanks Big Guy, I defer to Melman's answer with the link. I answered as I did because my jumbled mess from the Gov. made a jumbled mess with my 3 remaining brain cells. Yes Advantage equals private.
