I’ll just remind you before we get into this that original Medicare will pay for percent of your claim. What’s a claim? When you go see the doctor you trigger a claim. Medicare pays for 80% and the medical supplement will pay for 20%. Searching doctors has never been easier in Medicare.gov. I put together this wonderful video to show the steps involved on how to search. I get many questions about Medicare and its network. The beauty of original Medicare and the supplement is that you do not have any network! You can go whenever you want to go in the US. For years you have been tied to managed care and now you have the freedom to choose whatever doctor you want to go to as long as they accept Medicare. Most doctors and hospitals do. When you see the doctor just ask if they take Medicare if they do you are off and running! Enjoy the freedom!
