I cannot find a PCP taking new Medicare patients unless they have Advantage plans.

7. I am surprised there aren't a few doctors who accept Part B.

Part B has no networks and does not require a PCP. You may need to seek care in an adjacent county. One important thing about Part B is that the coverage is exactly the same no matter where you seek care. If I get sick on vacation, I can find a doctor. Advantage Plans have networks which have limited areas and going out of network is very expensive. Your supplement will pick up deductible and co-pays.

go here: https://www.medicare.gov/care-compare/?providerType=Physician and search for physicians. I just did a quick check and found 300 providers You can start with Providers and Services at the top of the page. Good Luck!!! FYI nearly all facilities accept Part A

My sister lives in KY but all the family's doctors are in Tennessee. When my brother in law was getting ready for Medicare, the agent who handled their existing insurance told them flat out they needed Part B because none of the networks in KY extended into Tennessee, whereas with Part B they can see anyone.

Good Luck!
