Something I haven't seen mentioned is that the premiums with a medicare advantage plan are often $0 per month, and the advantage plan actually pays for your monthly plan B premium, which saves lower income folks $134 per month. That's a good thing, but still, after seeing medicare advantage plans in action with my parents, it revealed that there is a lot of vigilance and worry involved in making sure everything is in network, no out-of-network people snuck in, etc. But isn't out-of-network still a problem with a supplement plan?
Not the same. Either a doctor or facility accepts Medicare or they don’t. There is no other distinction. So with traditional Medicare and supplement you have access to the broadest available “network”of any Medicare patient.
