year. She heard she must enroll in Part B at the beginning of the year to ensure no gap in

an attractive premium. He wants to know if he must use doctors in a network as his

care services from any doctor allowed to bill Medicare, as long as he shows the doctor the
plan's identification card and the doctor agrees to accept the PFFS plan's payment terms
and conditions, which could include balance billing.
