I thought any doctor that accepts Medicare is valid for UHC doesn't that also apply to hospitals?

Unfortunately, your wife is unlikely to be able to execute your instructions.? Medigap insurers, are free to decline requests to join their plan(s), because you would not be profitable.
UHC has a large network, but it's much smaller than all of those that accept Medigap policies.? In my case, UHC, does not accept my Doctor.
The definitions of Medigap plan types (e.g. Plan F, G, N ...) are all set by Medicare and are very stable.? It's easy to shop because every supplier is offering the same thing.? Medicare Advantage plans change frequently, and it's very difficult to compare suppliers.
