I created an account at medicare.gov and qualify for 33 supplemental plans. I am in the second most expensive plan. I like what's covered and it's worldwide coverage. It will take some time to compare plans. I stayed with the same provider I had when I had private insurance and so nothing changed as far as Doctors went but coverage improved when I transitioned to Medicare.

It's strange that the 80% coverage portion costs $135 per month and the 20% coverage portion costs $167.

Update: So I called Premera and they have exactly the same plan as I have now for $55 per month or a total savings of $3490 per year. They said "The benefits are the same, the pricing is different!"
