PALMELLECASPER, WYOMING
I got a letter saying my Medicare Advantage plan is ending. Will I lose my doctor in Casper?
Not because of the letter. Your plan is leaving, not your doctor. Original Medicare is accepted by every doctor and hospital that takes Medicare, in Casper and across the country.[4] If you would rather have another Medicare Advantage plan, you can join one up to the end of February; check that your doctor is on its list first.[3]
Your dates
You get two chances. Fall open enrollment lasts until December 7.[2] After it closes, anyone in a plan that was dropped can still choose until February runs out.[3] Use neither and Original Medicare becomes your coverage by default.[3]
What to ask before you pick
- Is my doctor in this plan's network?
- Is my hospital in it?
- Are my medicines on its list, and what will they cost?
Networks matter here: a plan can require you to stay inside its own.[4]
