This is one of the "downsides" to Advantage plans - the doctors have incentive to minimize the costs charged under Medicare Part B because that affects their bottom line.

Could you please explain this further? How are costs paid for a treatment covered by Medicare Part B different under an Advantage plan than under Original with a Supplement? I would think that Medicare's 'allowed amount' for the treatment charge would be the same...it is only the remaining 20% of the allowed amount that is handled differently.
