On Nov. 25, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison issued an alert warning seniors with Medicare Advantage that a number of health care providers in Minnesota have decided to not accept specific Medicare Advantage plans. From the alert:
This year, a number of health care providers in Minnesota have decided to not accept specific Medicare Advantage plans. Seeing a provider that does not accept your Medicare Advantage plan could result in care with either a much higher out of-pocket cost or care that is not covered at all. The result is that Minnesotans with Medicare Advantage plans may have dramatically different options in health care providers under those plans. This includes the possibility that a provider that someone with Medicare Advantage has seen this year, or even for several years, may no longer accept that person’s Medicare Advantage plan next year.
