It basically says if your doctor's is dropped from your advantage plan you may be able to switch plans or go back to regular medicare. It's not automatic but the law was changed to allow medicare to make an exception when events like this happen so you have to check with medicare to see if you can get one.
Very helpful info, thanks! The down side of switching, though, is you’re now out of the Villages Health System since you no longer carry UHC Advantage. It’s a slippery slope.
