For Plan F, you need to have turned 65 before Jan 1, 2020. However, if you have Plan F, you may be better off switching to Plan G (assuming you can) because the difference between the Plan F and Plan G premiums might be greater than the Part B deductible, which Plan F includes but Plan G doesn't.

Also, you don't need a Primary Care Physician to recommend a procedure. Many more doctors take the Supplement plans because these plans pay them better.
