AARP’s Medicare supplemental insurance is add-on coverage for gaps in seniors’ Medicare policies. Also known as Medigap, this coverage is offered through United Healthcare and helps you handle out-of-pocket expenses not covered by standard Medicare insurance. Members can choose their doctor or hospital (as long as they accept Medicare) with no referral requirements. AARP also won’t cancel your coverage or raise your premiums as a result of your health costs.

AARP offers 11 Medicare supplement plans, although not all of them are available in every state. All come with the same basic coverage, with additional protections varying by plan. It’s important to note that these plans don’t include long-term care, vision, dental, hearing aid, eyeglass, private nursing or prescription drug coverage.
AARP Medicare provides Part A coverage for inpatient and hospital treatment and Part B coverage for outpatient and medical treatment. Within these categories, AARP’s options include Plans A, B, C, D, F, G, K, L, M and N.

Stay away from AARP United Healthcare MedicarePlans. I have their Medicare Advantage PPO Choice. Each year this plan gets worse. Expensive in the end with procedures and tests that suddenly aren't covered, high RX co-pays or non coverage, decrease in the numbers of participating physicians and hospitals. Customer service is non existent. You can talk to 3 people about the same issue and they will respond with 3 different solutions or not know anything at all about the issue. They also are great at disconnecting calls. Website issues are a nightmare. It has been over 2 months that I have been unable to log in to my account to see any of my claims or benefits. All I ever get upon logging in is an error screen that says "It's not you, it's us".
I have three technical support tickets opened about the login issue without resolution. I have not been able to speak to a technical support supervisor nor does anyone ever escalate the issue. I have been promised a call back from both technical support and a supervisor which has never happened. In April, 2022 I called to initiate a dispute for what I suspect was overcharges by a member hospital and physician for an outpatient procedure that was billed at over $100,000.00. I never received a response to the dispute. I doubt that customer service agents even know or understand what a dispute is. Nor do they care. This has been an ongoing nightmare and I urge you to stay away from AARP United Healthcare.
I called my Rx plan to find out why my prescription was denied as written. I was told I was connected to the wrong department and that they would have to connect me to someone else. After waiting 5 minutes to be connected to someone else, they told me that I had been connected to the wrong person again and now had to be connected to yet another person. After waiting again, a new person came on, asked for my information and once again told me I was connected to the wrong person. This was a merry go round that was obviously never going to end, so I finally hung up. If you're looking for an Rx plan, I'd strongly suggest using someone else.

Biggest mistake I made was switching to this so called company. People - do not trust what they tell you. It is a out and out lie and will end up costing you so much more!! Employee bill in billing should not have a job with the public. Very very rude!!
We changed to AARP Medicare Advantage in 2022, due to a change in our prescriptions. We logged into the website and entered all of our prescription drugs and the prices were better than with Humana Medicare plan. This is not true. My husband takes a very expensive medicine for thunderclap headaches. They gave us 1 month of coverage and then it had to go to their review panel. Of course we did not know this until we changed to them.
We have moved and could not get an appointment with a new neurologist that quick. I called to ask them to cover 1 more month. I have talked to 2 different customer service representatives and 1 supervisor. They said they would resolve and get back to us the same day. I have spent at least 3 hours on the phone, talking and holding, and still do not have an answer. The cost for 1 month without their coverage is $770+. We made a huge mistake changing companies and even though this is the first review I have written thought I needed to let others know. Health insurance is very important!
I had no options but to go on a Medicare Advantage plan. I had no choice but to use the plan that UHC is a part of because no other plans covered specific Drs that only the UHC would cover. My biggest mistake was in trusting that I would have the coverage needed, especially during the Covid pandemic! But I was absolutely wrong! I'm already covered for a parts A&B & have been since 2006 with regular Medicare being my secondary insurance to my husband's employer based insurance through Union Pacific Railroad & even more sad it is actually through UHC Railroad!
I had a terrible experience in attempting to make sure my Parts C&D were covered. Contacted UHC, my US state Representative & wasted so much time on this that the 2 months when I needed to contact the arbitrary company it was too late. NO ONE had told me about this! I was denied coverage because they said I didn't have coverage - going back 10 years. They covered medical without question... I then began receiving a monthly bill for Part C coverage, which they had no intention to cover it! IMHO AARP MEDICARE ADVANTAGE UHC is nothing but a fraudulent scam.
This company should be named AARP Runaround. My doctor changed my diabetes medication to insulin. I need a meter that shows the rate of change. United Healthcare sent me running to five separate suppliers and denied them shipping. They told me my appeal for pre-authorization was Oked. They then told me to get it from a company that doesn't carry the meter. I think AARP should be legally prevented from recommending health insurance.
I am diabetic and I have been on the same medication for years! But now my blood sugar is out of control because United Healthcare won't pay for my life saving medication! **. It looks like united Healthcare doesn't care if I live or die! THIS POST WAS PURPOSELY MADE PUBLIC TO WARN PEOPLE ABOUT UNITED HEALTHCARE FOR AARP!
We've been with AARP UnitedHealthCare for several years. They must have had a management change or supervisory issues recently. Customer service is non-existent. Holding times in excess of an hour only to talk with someone who has no clue or provides misinformation. I am taking a tier 4 (expensive) medication. My doctor prescribed the medication every other day yet I am being charged for daily use. I was told that I am charged for a month of usage regardless of how much I use - makes no sense. Pay for 30 but only get (and use) 15!! I'm done with AARP United next sign up period.
Coverage awesome, I have very small out of pocket bills. In the last 5 years I've had a surgery and an emergency room visit. But the yearly rate increase negates yearly social security raise. If I wasn't working full time, I don't think I could pay for it.
AARP is okay to supplement my Medicare Insurance and it works very well for me as I need all the help I need and all is very clear regarding all their rules and fine prints and all requirements. I'm happy.
