Will I Be Able to Keep My Doctors on Medicare?

One of the most important questions for many people on Medicare is whether they can keep seeing their current doctors and specialists. With Original Medicare and a Medicare Supplement plan, you can generally see any doctor or hospital in the United States that accepts Medicare. Medicare Advantage plans work differently because they often use provider networks, so it is important to check whether your doctors, hospitals, and specialists in or near Sylacauga are included before enrolling.

Medicare Advantage plans use narrower networks tied to specific hospital systems — KFF’s national analysis found enrollees have access to roughly half the physicians available to someone on Original Medicare in the same area.

  • What is a Medicare Part D formulary, and can it change during the year?

  • Why do the Medicare Advantage or Part D plans available to me depend on my county?

    CMS sets Medicare Advantage and Part D plan service areas at the county level. Insurance companies decide which counties to offer a plan in based on their own network and cost calculations, which means two people a few miles apart in different counties can have a genuinely different set of plans to choose from — even within the same metro area. Your independent Medicare agent can pull up the specific plans available in your county so you’re comparing your actual options.
