Yes totally agree! On Advantage plans you can only go to Drs on that plan and hospitals that are on that plan you cannot choose out of their list! I went back to Medicare and UHC because of that reason as I had to travel in order to get certain tests and could not stay with my Cardiologist!

As an Administrator of medical practice for over 25 years I would have my staff call the patients on that plan and give them an option of ash or leave!
