Why Your Healthcare Providers Matter When Choosing a Medicare Plan
Having hospitals, physicians and specialists close to home is important. But for people considering a Medicare Advantage plan, location is only part of the equation.
A hospital or doctor's office being five minutes from your home does not necessarily mean it participates in the Medicare Advantage plan you are considering.
Provider networks can differ significantly between insurance carriers and even between plans offered by the same carrier. MountainView Hospital, UNLV Health, Southwest Medical, Summerlin Hospital and individual physicians or specialists may participate with certain Medicare Advantage plans but not others.
That is why comparing Medicare plans should involve more than looking at premiums, copays, giveback benefits and additional benefits.
For Summerlin and Northwest Las Vegas residents, a Medicare plan comparison should also consider the healthcare providers that are important to you, including your:

New to Summerlin? What to Know About Your Medicare Coverage
Summerlin continues to attract retirees relocating from California, the Pacific Northwest, and the Midwest. If you are moving to Summerlin from another state, your current Medicare plan almost certainly does not have a service area that covers Clark County. Relocating to a new permanent residence triggers a Special Enrollment Period — typically 60 days around your move — during which you can enroll in or switch Medicare Advantage plans without waiting for Annual Enrollment. This is a
time-sensitive opportunity that should not be missed.

- I split my time between Summerlin and another state. What Medicare coverage should I consider? Summerlin has many residents who travel frequently or spend part of the year outside Nevada. In that situation, provider access outside the Las Vegas Valley can be an especially important consideration.
- Original Medicare combined with a Medicare Supplement (Medigap) plan may be worth considering because Original Medicare can generally be used with Medicare-participating providers throughout the United States, without the local HMO provider networks commonly associated with Medicare Advantage. Medicare Advantage plans may also provide coverage while traveling, but the rules for routine care outside the plan's service area depend on the type of plan and its network. The right choice depends on how often you travel, where you receive healthcare, your doctors, prescriptions, budget and preference for predictable versus managed healthcare costs.
