Thank you.
All Medicare supplements include all hospitals and physicians that accept Medicare payment. Medicare Advantage plans have a limited network. The Medicare Supplement plan F is considered the Cadillac of the plans offered. The plan will change under current law in 2019 or 2020 to mandate deductibles and co-pays for new subscribers taking plan F.

I would write to Shands to be sure I get the correct answer. If you use a Medicare Advantage the doctors and hospitals covered can change each year.

True. Also true---If you have ANY insurance, the doctors and hospitals covered can change each year
