How Medicare Recipients Can Compare Doctors

Medicare.gov has a quick and easy way to find and compare doctors and other providers in your area.

Here’s how:

1. Visit Medicare.gov/care-compare. Select “Doctors & clinicians,” and enter your location (street, city, ZIP code or state). You can also search by specialty, like general practice or internal medicine.

2. Review details about the doctors you’re interested in, like their contact information, practice locations, hospital affiliation, or if they offer telehealth services.

3. You can also select the Compare button for a side-by-side comparison of up to 3 different doctors.

Once you’re ready to schedule a visit with a new doctor, be sure to call ahead to verify general information, like office location, if they’re accepting new patients with Medicare, and if you need a referral.
