Memorial Hospital and Memorial Medical Clinics in Carthage, Illinois, remind patients to carefully review their Medicare choices, as open enrollment continues until December 7th. The clinics note that not every Medicare Advantage Plan is accepted at their locations. Detailed information on accepted insurance options can be found at MHTLC.ORG. Patients planning to enroll or switch plans are encouraged to check whether their preferred clinics remain in-network to avoid disruptions in care. This proactive step helps ensure continued access to services at Memorial Hospital and its associated clinics.
“Choosing the right coverage can be confusing, but it’s an important decision,” said Teresa Smith, Chief Financial Officer at Memorial Hospital. “Memorial Hospital and Memorial Medical Clinics want patients to have the information they need to make the best choice for their healthcare. Patients who wish to continue receiving care at Memorial are encouraged to confirm that their selected plan includes Memorial within its network before enrolling.”
Memorial Hospital and Memorial Medical Clinics remind patients that they cannot provide advice or make enrollment decisions regarding Medicare plans. For those who decide to switch to an out-of-network Medicare Advantage plan, hospital staff will help transfer medical records to the new in-network provider. Patients are advised to keep their insurance coverage details updated. Both facilities accept Traditional Medicare—Parts A and B—as well as supplemental Medicare plans. To explore options, individuals should consult trusted sources such as medicare.gov, 1-800-MEDICARE, or the State Health Insurance Assistance Program at 1-877-839-2675 for accurate, up-to-date information.
