A growing number of hospitals are cutting ties with Medicare Advantage plans, leaving many patients without access to their usual doctors. Since July, at least 41 hospital systems across 25 states have exited 62 Advantage plans. In response, Medicare is offering special enrollment periods so affected members can switch plans or return to traditional Medicare without penalty. However, new enrollees might not be informed if a plan's provider network has recently shrunk.

Breakups between health providers and Advantage plans are increasingly common. The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services has allowed whole groups of patients to leave their plans.
