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.

Also asked as: “Are Medicare premiums tax deductible”
Medicare premiums, including Part B, Part D, and Medigap, may be deductible as a medical expense if you itemize and your total medical expenses exceed the IRS threshold, or as a self-employed health insurance deduction if you have self-employment income.
Also asked as: “do I still need Medicare if I have retiree health benefits”
Retiree health coverage from a former employer typically becomes secondary to Medicare rather than a substitute for it. Enrolling in both Part A and Part B when first eligible is usually necessary to avoid coverage gaps and late penalties.
Also asked as: “does enrolling in Medicare affect my HSA”
No. Once you enroll in any part of Medicare, you can no longer contribute new funds to a Health Savings Account, though you can still use funds already in the account to pay for qualified medical expenses.
Also asked as: “can I keep COBRA instead of signing up for Medicare”
COBRA is not considered creditable coverage for delaying Medicare enrollment, so signing up for Medicare when first eligible is generally recommended even if COBRA is available to you.
Also asked as: “will Medicare pay for an ambulance ride”
Medicare Part B covers ground ambulance transportation to a hospital, critical access hospital, or skilled nursing facility when other transportation could endanger your health, and it covers air ambulance transportation in certain emergency situations.
Also asked as: “should veterans enroll in Medicare if they already have VA coverage”
Many people with VA benefits still choose to enroll in Medicare, since VA benefits typically only cover care received at VA facilities or VA-authorized providers.
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.
