Choose another medical plan. If you work for big company or government, there are many plans from which to choose. if you're on Medicare, I would stay with regular Medicare and then choose a supplemental plan Medicare pays 80% of their going rate for that doctor's services and then the supplemental plan usually picks up 80% of what Medicare didn't. I had $55,000 surgery in 2023 and I only paid $67 total to MAYO Clinic. works for everyone I know who worked for BaltImore County.
Those who choose Medicare Advantage find themselves OKAY if seeking a plan-approved LOCAL doctor but you'd be stranded for care if you leave this State. I can go anywhere and choose Whichever doctor i like and there are thousands "in network" in the yearly booklets your employer or Plan mails out. GOOD LUCK.
