Do I need a referral to a specialist if I have Medicare? The answer is, it depends.
If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, including an employer group Medicare plan, in most cases you will need a referral by your primary care provider before you can see a specialist. Original Medicare allows you to see any provider without a referral.
