Coverage by two plans question

[Ronnyg6811]

I have both Medicare B and BCBS. I retired a few weeks ago and Medicare became primary and BCBS secondary. Can I go to a doctor that doesn't accept Medicare or am I obligated, with Medicare for primary coverage, to always use a Medicare provider?

As far as I understand it, you can see anyone.....however, if they are a registered non-par in Medicare, you will owe a larger amount and then you will have to send the bill to BCBS for re-imbursement. Personally, I would look into getting a replacement plan for Medicare.

Regular Medicare with a supplement is the best insurance you can have. In 4 years I have never encountered a doctor that didn’t take Medicare. You will be able to seek the best treatment nationwide if you are unlucky enough to get a serious illness.
