It is your sole responsibility to select the appropriate care for yourself or your loved one. We work with both you and the Participating Communities in your search. We do not permit our Advisors to have an ownership interest in Participating Communities.
II. How We Are Paid. We do not charge you any fee – we are paid by the Participating Communities. Some Participating Communities pay us a percentage of the first month's standard rate for the rent and care services you select. We invoice these fees after the senior moves in.
III. When We Tour. APFM tours certain Participating Communities in Washington (typically more in metropolitan areas than in rural areas.) During the 12 month period prior to December 31, 2017, we toured 86.2% of Participating Communities with capacity for 20 or more residents.

Sorry, but ur situation really bothers me. Did ur DH retire with 30 yrs service? Unless his contract was a lot different than my husbands, (he retired 2009 with 31 years)I can't understand why you don't get a supplimental thru BC. You should be down as a dependent and a survivor to his pension. I just looked at my husbands stub, he pays $34 a month for my medical. My husband pays nothing for his health insurance.
Unfortunately my husband was IT working on the OnStar account at GM and at one time was picked up by Hewlett Packard back in I think 2006 with the OnStar account was transferred to them. When GM brought the OnStar account back my husband lost out on the retirement package because of that as well. However, I now have the letter from BCBS of Michigan which I can summit to Medicare showing my insurance coverage ended as of 1/1/2019. Hopefully it won't take many more months to get it fixed.
Thanks for your interest.
If not, you need BC to send u something showing ur no longer covered. Then send it to Medicare. The union made us pay for part B to continue with BC.
I had this problem because Medicare had BC as primary. I explained that when I turned 65 my BC changed to secondary. My husband had no problem. The rep changed Medicare to primary.
Hope this helps.
Its hard for me to understand why you don't have BC of michigan as a secondary. My husband turned 65 before me. Once he received Medicare, BC automatically became secondary. Me too. We get dental, vision and prescriptions thru the UAW retiree trust.
I called BCBS and they are sending the letter electronically and via the mail. When you say send it "signature required" what does that mean? Do I write this on the letter I send to them?
It was as I thought, my policy was cancelled on January 1, 2019 so hopefully they will revisit the claims because they were all several months after I started paying for Part B.
Thank you all for your help. I'll let you know what happens in case others find themselves in this predicament.
I am sure Medicare is inundated with all of us Baby boomers retiring and perhaps that is the reason this is taking so long. I am also curious as to how this situation happened. My husband has no problem with Medicare as they know he no longer has BCBS and I only had it all those years as his spouse. (?)
