Getting set up with a new Medicare plan can feel like organizing a big family reunionālots of details, but so worth it when everyone is together!
One of the most important "details" is making sure your favorite doctors and specialists are ready for your new 2026 coverage.
Here is the #1 rule: Never assume a doctor who accepted your old plan will accept your new one.
Here are 3 simple ways you can check:
1ļøā£ Check the Plan's Website: Every carrier has a "Find a Provider" tool that is updated constantly. It's the fastest, most reliable source.
2ļøā£ Call the Doctor's Office: Ask if they are "In-Network" for your specific plan name and year (e.g., "The 2026 XYZ Care Advantage Plan").
3ļøā£ Call Your Agent: We are always happy to double-check the network status for you and save you a phone call!
Don't let a surprise bill ruin your new year! Check your network status now.
