Humana Insurance Company (instead of Medicare) will decide on how much it will cover and how much you will pay for the services you get. You may go to any Medicare approved doctor or hospital or any other health care provider that accepts both Medicare and your plans payment. A PFFS plan has no provider network, and you dont need a referral or a primary care physician for any health care or services. PFFS plans are the most flexible but a doctor will make a visit-by-visit decisions on whether to accept your provider.
This plan from Humana Insurance Company works with Medicare to give you significant coverage beyond Part A and Part B benefits. If you decide to sign up for Humana Gold Choice H8145-120 (PFFS) you still retain Original Medicare. But you will get additional Medicare Part A (Hospital Insurance) and Medicare Part B (Medical Insurance) coverage from Humana Insurance Company and not Original Medicare.

Original Medicare still provides you with hospice care even if you sign up for a Medicare Advantage Plan.
