Medicare Advantage Minute, content provided by Diane Omdahl:

MA plans typically have two caps on out-of-pocket, unreimbursed costs; one on the drug benefits and one on the medical expenses. 

Your Medicare Benefits 2024:

How does Medicare cover Concierge Care? Not at all.

How does Medicare cover Continuous Glucose Monitors? Very likely if your doctor asserts that you meet the criteria for eligibility.

Some purchasers of Medicare supplement plans are risk averse and afraid of the very limited cost sharing imposed by the low priced High Deductible “High Value” Plan G. State birthday rules to the rescue!

More and more states are mandating rights to change Medicare supplement plans under certain circumstances without having to show evidence of good health.

This removes much of the perceived risk of this best of all Medicare choices.

Douglas B. Jones Author: Medicare for the Lazy Man

Doug Jones burst forth from Oklahoma like a prairie tornado, born of an Omaha Beach victor and the shortest-serving Miss Oklahoma in history. He was such an accomplished student that nine years of undergrad studies eventually earned him a BA degree from the University of Arizona.
Having been branded at birth with the John Hancock Signature, he became the third generation of a life insurance dynasty founded in 1920. Eventually, a genuine dedication to health insurance conferred black sheep status, causing him to strike out on his own.
Decades later, friends began to pester him about Medicare, angling for free advice. After a period of deep contemplation and reflection, Doug arrived at conclusions and formed some opinions that place him squarely at odds with many other Medicare experts.
Thus was born Medicare for the Lazy Man!
