With the exception of emergency or urgent care, it will cost more to get care from non-plan or non-preferred providers. You may receive services from any provider who accepts Original Medicare. Your out-of-pocket costs will be lower if you choose a network provider. To find a network provider, visit Find a Doctor.
Limitations, copayments and restrictions may apply. You must continue to pay your Medicare Part B premium. Consult your Evidence of Coverage for specific information about your benefits and cost-sharing responsibilities.
