And when I was working and before I had Medicare, I had to get a referral to see a specialist. It wasn’t a problem. My primary care doctor would always refer me.
You may not need a referral but you will definitely need an approval which may or may not happen. You need to get approval for a rehab stay if you need one. (dis)Advantage plans are fine if you're healthy not so much when you get older and need more care.
