Video Caption: Keeping your doctors on Medicare 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.

Rising Medicare Supplement premiums catch a lot of Bereas residents off guard, especially if they’ve stuck with the same carrier for years without comparing options. Because Medigap coverage is standardized, switching carriers for a lower rate doesn’t mean giving up any benefits — Plan G is Plan G no matter who sells it. A Medicare agent serving Bereas can pull current rates from multiple carriers so you can see whether you’re overpaying for identical coverage.
Video Caption: Why Medigap premiums rise Video Summary: This video breaks down why Medigap premiums for the exact same plan can rise at very different rates from one carrier to the next, and what that means for shopping around later without medical underwriting getting in the way.

Also asked as: “do I need my doctor’s permission to see a specialist on Medicare”
No — Original Medicare does not require referrals to see a specialist, as long as that specialist accepts Medicare. Many Medicare Advantage plans do require a referral, depending on the plan’s rules.
Also asked as: “is there a cap on my drug costs under Medicare”
Yes. Medicare Part D includes an annual out-of-pocket cap on covered prescription drug costs. Once your spending on covered drugs reaches that cap for the year, you pay nothing more for covered medications for the rest of the calendar year.
Also asked as: “how do I get a new Medicare card if mine was lost”
You can request a replacement Medicare card online through your Social Security account at ssa.gov, by phone, or in person at a Social Security field office. There’s no cost to replace a lost or stolen card.
Also asked as: “what happens if I don’t sign up for Part B right away”
Yes, unless you qualify for a Special Enrollment Period due to employer coverage. The Part B late enrollment penalty is generally permanent and is added to your monthly premium for as long as you have Part B.
Also asked as: “does my Medicare plan still work if I relocate”
Original Medicare and Medigap coverage travel with you nationwide. Medicare Advantage and Part D plans are tied to a specific service area, so moving may require switching to a new plan available where you now live.
Also asked as: “does Medicare pay for a yearly checkup”
Yes — Original Medicare covers an annual wellness visit at no additional cost once you’ve had Part B for 12 months. This visit is separate from a routine physical exam and focuses on updating your personalized prevention plan.
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.
