My Medicare Advantage plan listed my doctor, but now they say he's out of network. How is that even allowed?
Answer: I see this problem a lot because AEP is 10/15-12-07 and starts 1/1 of the next year. But Doctors leave or go to a network also at the beginning of the new year. Most enrollment hubs update weekly or monthly for providers . But most transitions come at the new year. Having a conversation with your Doctor or at least Office Mgr might be of value . A reason for enrolling in a PPO is you can in and out of network also using Original Medicare with a supplement will immediately solve this problem.
