Consider Your Doctors – and any changes
you may want
• With Original Medicare, you can go to any doctor or hospital that takes
Medicare anywhere in the U.S. As long as your doctor participates in
Medicare, they will be covered.
• In Medicare Advantage, you’ll need to use doctors who are in the plan’s
network in most cases - unless it’s emergency care. You can ask your
preferred doctor whether they participate in Medicare Advantage plans and
note which plans those are.
