You need to speak with someone at one of the United Health Care offices as you have an incorrect idea of how an Advantage plan works. You can only see the doctors in your network for that plan (limited geographically) unless you are on vacation and have an emergency. A Medicare supplement allows you to see any doctor, anywhere that accepts medicare.
