Yes, some Medicare Advantage plans, specifically Preferred Provider Organizations (PPOs), offer coverage for out-of-network services, although at a higher cost compared to in-network services. Note, some have higher cost coverage and some have un-limited costs.

@skipper2 When I received my statement from my not-for-profit Advantage Plan (PPO) chosen by my former employer for their retirees, I was very surprised that my copay for the hospital bill at Mayo was the exact same amount that it would have been had I been a patient at the in-network hospital 4 miles from my house. Septal myectomies are not performed anywhere in the network, that's the reason, will pay for it elsewhere. Each year, members receive a summary chart of services along with coverage for in-network and out-of-network fees for comparison. in my case I may have a $10 copay in network and $20 out of network. Each of the dozens of Advantage Plans have different provisions which are always changing. A shakeup is underway because of ... won't get into that.
