Another example of a poster giving incorrect info - go to shine
1. An HMO is an advantage plan but not the only type of advantage plan
2. A PPO is an advantage plan also and requires no gatekeeper to see a specialist.
FYI - TV AARP medicare advantage choice PPO is accepted at Shands and many other teaching hospitals as in network (the big scare).
