1. select the medicare option near the top of the of the Health Insurance Plans for Individuals & Families, Employers, Medicare | UnitedHealthcare page
2. then use the "find and enroll" for your summer residence zip code
3. then pick Advantage Plans
4. on the page that comes up for each plan you will see a "Is my provider covered...", drill down through that and you can see all doctors, search etc.
Of course this list changes all the time, not just once a year and it is not 100% accurate... some of the doc's on the list won't accept the plan and some who do aren't on the list, but is will give you an idea of what is covered.
In general no one, not even UHC, can tell you absolutely, for sure a particular doc' will be available to you. |
Thanks so much for your help, Dan. According to that PDF, the entire state of NY is covered, so I should be ok. I had actually been to that provider finder site. It just wasn't clear that if I put in my Summer zipcode that all the providers I found would be available to me. If that's truly the case its good news as there are plenty available, including the doctor I used to go to before I changed my residence to The Villages.
