If you’re comparing plans or getting ready for Annual Enrollment, here’s the question you actually want answered: is your Medicare Advantage plan accepted at Palm Primary Care? Below is our current, alphabetical list, plus a few simple ways to double-check whether you’re the patient or you’re helping a parent sort this out.
Why This List Matters During Annual Enrollment
If you’re thinking about switching plans this AEP, one of the first things to confirm is whether a new plan will still allow you to see your Palm Primary Care provider. Acceptance can vary slightly by specific plan or network tier, so treat this list as a strong starting point, and always confirm directly, too.
Medicare Advantage Plans We Accept
- Humana
- United Healthcare
- WellCare
Some Medicare Advantage plans accepted are HMOs or PPOs, and coverage may vary by location and provider. Please contact our team directly to confirm whether your specific plan is accepted.
A Note on Plan Types (HMO vs. PPO)
Whether a plan counts as “accepted” can depend on its network tier. HMO plans typically require in-network providers and referrals to see specialists. PPO plans usually allow more flexibility to see out-of-network providers, often at a higher cost. Check your plan type on your member card if you’re not sure which type of plan you have.
Don’t See Your Plan Listed?
That doesn’t automatically mean no. Plans and networks change, and this list is a reference, not a guarantee. Call our office, and we’ll confirm your specific plan directly.
