6 Medicare Advantage Plans Myths

Medicare Advantage Plans Myths:

4) I won't be able to use my doctors under this plan.

If you have a Medicare supplement plan, you can use any doctor, assuming
the doctor participates with Medicare. Some doctors and other high-end specialist might
not take Medicare patients in certain urban areas, but most doctors will accept Medicare.

But those who choose Medicare Advantage, which is a more traditional HMO or PPO offering,
may not be able to use their doctors or may be required to pay an additional fee. Like with
a commercial PPO, you might have a $10 co-pay for a doctor in-network and $20 for a specialist
and it may be double that amount if they're out of network. (Senior Market Advisor Nov. 2012)
