How do I choose a doctor who accepts Medicare?
By choosing a doctor who accepts Medicare, you’ll ensure you are charged the negotiated and acceptable rate. Your doctor’s office will also bill Medicare for your visit. In most cases, a doctor who accepts Medicare will also wait to hear back from Medicare before asking you to pay any cost difference if appropriate.
Does Physician Compare list professionals that accept Medicare or Medicaid?
Please note that Physician Compare only lists professionals that accept Medicare. Although some may also accept Medicaid, it does not have information about which professionals do accept Medicaid. Medicaid programs vary by state and each state Medicaid agency maintains their own list of professionals that accept Medicaid.
Does Medicare have a network of doctors?
If you have original Medicare, there are no networks, you’ll just need to ask if the doctor accepts Medicare. If you have Medicare Part C (Medicare Advantage), it’s more likely you’ll have to stay within your plan’s network of doctors.
