When you want to go deeper
A few more details.
01Referrals and care approvals
Original Medicare generally does not require a referral to see a specialist. Medicare Advantage plans can have referral and prior-authorization rules. Check the particular service and plan.
02Travel and time away
Original Medicare can generally be used with participating providers across the U.S. Medicare Advantage routine care may depend on your network and service area. Emergency coverage and coverage outside the U.S. require a separate check.
03Dental, vision, and hearing
Some Medicare Advantage plans offer additional benefits. Original Medicare and Medigap do not generally cover routine dental, vision, or hearing services. Check benefits, allowances, provider rules, and separate options.
