One of the biggest worries for people in Newport Beach is whether they’ll still be able to see their current doctors and specialists after switching Medicare plans.

Video Summary: This video explains why network access is one of the biggest practical differences between Medigap and Medicare Advantage, especially if you have doctors you don’t want to give up.

Watching your Medicare Supplement premium rise year after year in Newport Beach? That’s common, and it usually comes down to how a specific carrier prices its block of policies over time rather than anything about your own coverage.

Also asked as: “can I sign up for Medicare without going to an office”
Most people can enroll in Medicare entirely online through your Social Security account at ssa.gov, without ever visiting an office in person. Visiting a field office is available if you prefer in-person help.
Also asked as: “how do I add Part B to my existing Medicare”
If you already have Part A but delayed Part B, typically because of employer coverage, you can enroll in Part B online through your Social Security account, by phone, or in person at a Social Security field office.
Also asked as: “will Medicare pay for a walker or wheelchair”
Yes — Original Medicare Part B covers durable medical equipment, including wheelchairs, walkers, and hospital beds, when a doctor prescribes it as medically necessary and it’s obtained through a Medicare-enrolled supplier.
Also asked as: “does Original Medicare have a spending cap”
Every Medicare Advantage plan is required to include an annual limit on how much you’ll pay out of pocket for Part A and Part B covered services. Original Medicare has no such limit on its own.
Also asked as: “can I be denied Medicare Advantage for a health condition”
Medicare Advantage plans generally cannot deny your enrollment or charge you more because of a pre-existing condition, as long as you’re enrolling during a valid enrollment period and live in the plan’s service area.
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.
Medicare decisions deserve careful planning, whether you’re turning 65, retiring soon, moving to Newport Beach, or leaving employer coverage.
