So while a given expense may be covered, a poor company can "automatically" reject every claim and make you work for it. You've probably had this experience with traditional insurance, it's the same problem for supplemental. Again, I don't know of any reference that compares the speed and accuracy of claims processing by company by state. Some states do have websites which compare service quality, so one of your necessary stops is your state's insurance regulator website.

Good info. In AZ, I compared all the prices for plan G and there wasn't 10 dollars difference between them. Chose M of O due to customer service ratings and so far they've been great. In my case, Mayo is not a medicare "preferred provider"- meaning they don't accept what Medicare pays. I get checks from Medicare and Mutual of Omaha and have to turn around and pay Mayo. The M of O checks come WAY faster than the Medicare payments.
