In most cases, yes. You can go to any doctor, healthcare provider, hospital or facility nationwide that's enrolled in Medicare and accepting new Medicare patients. There are no networks with our Medicare Supplement Insurance Plans. Referrals are not required.
Original Medicare combined with a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan has some similarities to Medicare Advantage, but they are actually very different. One of the most important decisions you have to make is what type of Medicare coverage to enroll in. There are multiple factors to consider. Visit our explainer video page for more information on the differences between Medicare Supplement Insurance and Medicare Advantage.
No. You cannot have both a Medicare Supplement Insurance Plan and a Medicare Advantage Plan at the same time.
The best time to buy a Medicare Supplement policy is the six-month period that starts the first day of the month you're 65 or older and enrolled in Medicare Part B. For example, if you turn 65 and are enrolled in Part B in June, the best time for you to buy a Medicare Supplement policy would be from June until November. If you have questions, please call us at 1-800-236-1448.
It's critically important to find out from the employer whether you need to enroll in Medicare, and if so, exactly how the employer coverage fits in with Medicare. If you're over 65 and receive coverage under a group health plan provided by an employer for which you or your spouse actively works, you have the right to delay Medicare enrollment until the job ends or the coverage ends, whichever occurs first. At that point, you're entitled to a special enrollment period of up to eight months to sign up for Medicare without risking late penalties.
