Are you looking for a new doctor and not sure where to start? Medicare.gov makes it quick and easy to find and compare doctors and other providers in your area.
Here's how:
- Visit Medicare.gov, enter your location and select "Doctors & clinicians" under Provider Type. You can also search by specialty, like general practice or internal medicine.
- Review details about the doctors you're interested in, like their contact information, practice locations, hospital affiliation, and performance information.
- You can also select the "compare" button to compare up to 3 different healthcare providers you're interested in.
Once you're ready to schedule a visit with a new doctor, be sure to call ahead to verify general information, like office location, if they're accepting new patients with Medicare, and if you need a referral.
