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.
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.

Also asked as: “why is my Medicare premium higher than everyone else’s”
IRMAA is a Part B/D surcharge triggered once income passes a set threshold, based on your tax return from two years earlier.
Also asked as: “when do I first sign up for Medicare”
The Initial Enrollment Period is seven months, centered on your 65th birthday month. Enroll inside it to avoid late penalties.
Also asked as: “when can I change my Medicare plan each year”
The fall Annual Enrollment Period lets you switch Original Medicare/Advantage, change Advantage plans, or change Part D for the year ahead.
Also asked as: “can I leave my Medicare Advantage plan and go back to traditional Medicare”
You can switch back to Original Medicare during Annual Enrollment or the Advantage Open Enrollment Period. Guaranteed Medigap access isn’t automatic with that switch.
Also asked as: “will Medicare pay for medical care when I’m traveling abroad”
Care outside the U.S. is generally not covered by Original Medicare, with rare exceptions. Frequent travelers should check their Medigap plan for a foreign emergency benefit.
Also asked as: “what’s the difference between Medicare Part C and Medicare Advantage”
Part C is another name for Medicare Advantage — benefits delivered by a private insurer, usually networked, often with extras.
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 Ocean Ridge, or leaving employer coverage.
