If I choose BCBS or any other supplement with original Medicare, am I understanding that as long as the specialist accepts original Medicare (which most do), that there is no more "in-network" to consider with a BCBS supplement? This would definitely widen the specialists I could see. I am specifically asking about supplements here, not advantage plans.
