Advantage plans are not governed by Medicare, far from it. Advantage plans suck, ran by insurance companies, and these companies will do anything they can to save money for themselves rather than give you care your dr prescribed.
Don’t believe me, then why doesn’t Medicare require authorization for a procedure but an advantage plan does? Because, close to 70% of the time an advantage plan will refuse doing the service your dr prescribed whereas Medicare doesn’t require authorization? Because when the insurance company refuses service they save money. Don’t believe me, google it and you will see Congress has been working on this fraudulent practice for many years. The insurance companies hope that the patient will get tired of fighting the insurance company and give up.
Google why hospitals are refusing patients with advantage plans. More and more hospitals are adding themselves to the list.
Go out and get a good supplement plan and you will get the work your dr requested without any headaches
