Overview
With Original Medicare and a Medigap policy, you can see any provider in the country who accepts Medicare. There is no network directory to check each year.
How it works
Referrals are not required to see a specialist under Original Medicare.
What to watch for
This matters most for people with established specialists, second-opinion habits, or care at centers outside their metro area.
What to do next
It also matters for people who move or spend part of the year in another state.
