No, I don’t believe that is correct. If a provider accepts Medicare (regular, original Medicare) then they also have to accept your supplemental plan (aka “Medigap”, one of the “lettered” plans such a F, G, N, etc.). Please note that I am not saying anything about Medicare Advantage, which is a different animal.

Medicare is Medicare. Not all medical facilities take it. The ones that don't, are likely not "approved" by Medicare or simply don't want to do work at approved Medicare rates.
Medicare Supplemental or Advantage, is an entirely other type of medical coverage. Again, medical facilities can decide what Insurances they'll accept or not accept.
Facilities can take Medicare, but not take your Supplemental or Advantage Plan.
Does your provider accept Medicare as full payment? | Medicare |
