Lots of top tier places don't take Advantage plans. I got sent to Mayo clinic in Phoenix last fall for a pretty serious issue. I asked the intake person how I was accepted at Mayo with Medicare. She said "we don't take Advantage plans, you have a supplement, you're all covered. If you showed up here with an Advantage plan and a dumptruck full of money, we wouldn't accept you".

BTW, I've heard of both types of Medicare add-ons (didn't want to say supplement) but I've not heard of this difference in terms of actual usefulness.
So is Advantage (cap. A) a specific brand item as opposed to another category of extra coverage, hence the small s, and use of 'a' supplement?
