- Expect fewer plan choices: The total number of Medicare Advantage plans offered next year will slip more than 5 percent to 2,522 from 2,664
- Check on your doctor: Regardless of whether your insurer has announced physician cuts, it pays to double check that the doctors you see will still be in your plan's network.
- Scrutinize Details: Aside from the payment terms, look for the star rating that the government has attached to plans as a way to judge quality.
- What it all means: Medicare Advantage enrollment has continued to grow despite funding concerns.
