Do all doctors take Medicare? If they accept Advantage plans won't they take Medicare as well? Will some docs accept Advantage plans? GA expert explains.
Almost ALL doctors (96%) treat patients who have original Medicare. When a doc accepts Medicare they will also take your Medicare supplement plan.
When someone says they don't accept Humana, or Anthem they are referring to ADVANTAGE plans, not Medigap.
Anyone who takes Medicare will also accept your Medigap plan, REGARDLESS of the carrier.
About half the Medicare Advantage plans in Georgia are HMO, the rest are PPO. You may find that some docs will accept a PPO plan but not an HMO plan.

What is Medicare and how do I use it?
Medicare is health insurance designed primarily for folks age 65 and older. Those who are younger than 65 may qualify if they are disabled or have end stage kidney disease.
Medicare has 4 parts. Your red, white and blue card is broadly accepted by doctors and hospitals alike. No networks! No referrals. No prior authorization.
Medicare Part A covers hospital inpatient charges and has a per admission deductible
Medicare Part B is for outpatient health care treatment. Doctor visits, labs, X-rays, MRI, CT scan (CAT scan), ambulance, ER, outpatient clinics, etc. Essentially any Medicare approved health care received outside the hospital setting. Treatment considered medically necessary under Medicare guidelines. Medicare Part B has a calendar year deductible. Once satisfied, Medicare pays 80% of the approved charge, you are responsible for the remaining 20%.
When you have original Medicare, YOUR DOCTOR AND YOU decide on the care you need. You don’t need approval by an insurance carrier before can receive testing or treatment.
Most seniors worry about hospital stays, but your major expenses will more than likely fall under Medicare Part B outpatient expenses. Original Medicare stand alone has no cap on your out of pocket expenses.
You pay until you run out of money, get well or die.
Most doctors will accept Medicare. This means that they will:
Accept Medicare’s guidelines as the full payment for bills
Submit claims to Medicare, so you only have to pay your share of the bill
Find doctors who accept Medicare through Medicare.gov’s Physician Compare website.
https://www.medicare.gov/physiciancom...
The site includes both participating and non-participating providers, but you can choose to filter your search to only display doctors that accept assignment.
The Physician Compare tool lets you search for doctors and providers by:
Location and zip code
Area of practice (for example, cardiology)
Gender
Hospital affiliation
Your doctor’s last name
After entering in your search criteria, the Physician Compare page will display a list of doctors in your area that meet your requirements. Before settling on a doctor, you should first call to confirm that he or she accepts Medicare assignment and is taking new patients.
