Medicare is a federal program. Providers are not required to accept Medicare.
Only ~ 5% of providers in the US do not accept Medicare - the largest group by far in that ~5 % is right here - The Villages Health System.
Those of us who kept Medicare (most also then choose to buy a supplement) can’t use TVHS for PCP, we can for most specialist.
TVHS accepts only Advantage plans (which is not original Medicare) for PCP.
What would have happened had you stayed? You pay and then get reimbursed through your carrier?
Hope you’re feeling better, to go to an ER for COVID you were deathly ill, most don’t get too sick any longer. Speedy recovery.
