Choosing the Right Medicare Plan Matters in Cancer Care

For patients with cancer, the type of Medicare plan you choose can make a big difference in your care and costs. Traditional Medicare gives you broad access to doctors and hospitals but often requires a supplementary “Medigap” plan to help cover deductibles and co-insurance. Medicare

Advantage plans may have lower monthly costs, but they usually restrict which doctors, hospitals, and treatments are covered. For cancer patients, these limits can mean fewer choices for specialists or treatment centers. Before enrolling or switching plans, take time to review your options and ask how each plan will affect your cancer care. At Advance Oncology, we help our patients understand these choices so treatment remains uninterrupted and accessible.
