How Do I Know If My Doctor or Hospital Will Accept My Medicare Plan?

That is a great and common question we are asked here at Sun Coast Legacy Advisors. The answer really depends on which type of Medicare plan you end up choosing. So choose wisely!

If you choose a Medicare supplement plan (Medigap) then you may choose to go to any doctor that currently accepts Medicare. In this situation your only question to your doctor, or any future doctors is, “Do you accept Medicare?”  If the answer is yes, then you my purchase ANY Medicare supplement plan and company and see those doctors. Additionally, you may go to any hospital nationwide with your Medicare and Medicare supplement plan and be covered (except for military veteran’s hospitals).

If instead, you choose a Medicare Advantage Plan (Part C), you are typically limited on which doctors and hospitals you may visit.  Finding out which plans your doctors accept may be difficult and time consuming if you have multiple doctors.

There is a solution. Whether choosing a Medicare supplement plan or Medicare Advantage plan, let Sun Coast Legacy Advisors help you choose a plan that best fits your needs and budget, while still maintaining the doctors & hospitals you desire to keep. We can save you time and frustration, all free of charge!
