You do not need to select a primary care physician and you do not need referrals to see other providers in the network. Offering you a little more flexibility overall. You can get medical attention from a provider outside of the network but you will have to pay the difference between the out-of-network bill and the PPOs discounted rate.
Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama works with Medicare to provide significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for Blue Advantage Complete (PPO) you still retain Original Medicare. But you will get additional Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama and not Original Medicare. With Medicare Advantage Plans you are always covered for urgently needed and emergency care. Plus you receive all of the benefits of Original Medicare from Blue Cross and Blue Shield of Alabama except hospice care. Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care even if you sign up for a Medicare Advantage Plan.
