Original Medicare is accepted broadly by providers who 'accept assignment.' Medicare Advantage plans have narrower networks managed by private insurers.

What to confirm with the provider's office

  • Do you accept Medicare assignment?
  • Are you in-network for my Medicare Advantage plan?
  • Will I owe a copay or coinsurance?
  • Do you bill Medicare directly?

Insurance participation can change. Always confirm directly with the provider's office and your insurance company before scheduling an appointment.
