Part B is actually part of Medicare, so I think you probably meant you have Supplemental (i.e. "Medigap") with Anthem BCBS. If so, I have the same Anthem/Humana combo as you and it's worked well.

Whoops, you are correct. Thanks for the correction.

I spoke to a person from SelectQuote about 'Advantage and Gap' plans, based on living in Mass.... They mentioned United Heath Care for Advantage plan as it also combines a drug plan all inclusive, for a cost under $50 a month.

They indicated that there are many local plans (Tuft, Harvard Pilgrim, etc),
however they do not manage those providers and suggested I contact them directly.
SelectQuote, only works with National insurance providers and not regional.

Does anyone have Humana Advantage supplementing Part B ? Good or bad ?

On a side note, how are folks managing their dental coverage in retirement ?
I still have all my teeth !

I think the best source of dental coverage information is your own dentist. Different dentists accept different dental plans, so you'd need to know which plans (if any) your dentist accepts. A quick call to your dentist's office should be all it takes to get that info. Then, you can research the plan(s) your dentist accepts.
