User reviews

Sucks

I don’t need an app for services. I can do that at my desk. I need an app that links to my account and a digital version of my card. In my iPhone wallet. I bet we put a man on the moon again before the us gov can produce an app. China could do it.

Not comprehensive

Doesn’t give information on medications or classes if drugs for specific conditions which should be a priority for this type of application.

Not helpful

I was hoping for an exhaustive list of benefits. Try typing “Cataracs quote… Common surgery among Medicare recipients. Nothing found. Good luck.

Does not link to my account

No data from my claims and coverage

More confusing than actually calling Medicare

This app is of very little use. Just more of the if/and/but run around you get when you call. Recently had to undergo treatments for a known condition. This app doesn’t list it, but does list the area of medicine. It says to call your doctor. I call the doctor and they tell me to call Medicare. Medicare says to call my doctor…and round and round we go, with no way of getting answers until you get a $500 bill. This app is of little to no use in helping avoid this situation.
