OP, IMHO, the first thing you need to do is call your health care insurance and get a list of local providers that accept your ADVANTAGE plan, then you will need to start calling these doctors to see if they are accepting new patients. Also, IMHO, you might ask to see if it is possible to get back to original Medicare and supplemental without a huge cost increase, as there are a lot more doctors accepting original Medicare and supplemental than Advantage plans.
Hope this helps.
