Maybe. But thereโs ๐ข๐ก๐ more question you need to ask.
If youโre considering a Medicare Advantage plan, โaccepts Medicareโ does ๐ก๐ข๐ง automatically mean your doctor is in-network with that specific plan.
Your doctor may see Medicare patients but not participate in every Medicare Advantage plan available in your area.
And depending on the plan, going out-of-network could mean:
๐ฐ Higher costs
๐ซ Limited or no coverage
๐จโ๏ธ Needing to use a different provider
So donโt just ask:
โDo you accept Medicare?โ
Ask:

Because choosing a plan and THEN finding out your favorite doctor isnโt in-network?
