Talk with your state SHIP (senior health insurance program) help line. Every state has this and they are very helpful in most states. They should be able to guide you although today, being the last day to sign up for Medicare supplements will be a busy day.

When you say you have Medicare, is it Original Medicare with a Supplemental Plan or a Medicare Advantage Plan? That makes a big difference if a clinic will accept your coverage. Call the insurance's phone number ( should be on your insurance card) to clarify who you can see with or without a referral.

See this simple comparison of Original Medicare vs Advantage Plans on Medicare.gov site.

There are many different Supplemental (gap) and Advantage plans, that is why you need to check with your insurance company.
Also, independent of insurance, some clinics may not accept new patients due to lack of resources .
