Michael, thanks for the comprehensive response.
But you should be aware that "if you are enrolled in a Medicare Advantage (MA) plan, doctors do not necessarily need to accept your insurance even if they accept Medicare. This is because doctors have separate contracts with private insurers."
And it may require a pre-approval to access medical services outside the Advantage plan's network; meaning emergency services or other immediate needs could NOT be pre-approved, and consequently NOT covered.
