Medicare Advantage Plan - Part C Constraints
Your health insurance company has a list of doctors in its network. These are the only doctors you can see for covered services. If you go to a doctor not in the network, you may have to pay for the entire medical procedure or service cost. Your Medicare health plan decisions can mean the difference between coverage that's affordable and one that's a financial burden (think about out-of-pocket costs and specialists referrals).
Medicare Advantage insurance plans do not cover some services and drugs, and you may need to get approval from your plan before it covers certain medicines or services. For example, specialist visits without your primary care physician's consent are typically not covered by insurance.
Medicare Advantage Plans may have lower out-of-pocket costs than Original Medicare. However, the benefits and coverage of these plans can vary significantly from one plan to the next, so it is essential to compare benefits and coverage documents very carefully before enrolling. The Medicare card from your Medicare Advantage Plan is essential to get your Medicare-covered services. Keep your red, white, and blue Medicare card in a safe place since you may need to present your Medicare card for some services. Also, you will need it if you return to the Original Medicare.
