You don't need to book a full review to ask for help. Send a short request, or choose a time if you're ready. I'm based in Greensboro. Meetings elsewhere are arranged with you.

Duke University Hospital and Duke Regional need separate checks

Duke University Hospital is on Erwin Road in Durham. Duke Regional Hospital is a separate Durham location, with services that include Duke Cancer Center North Durham. Write down the hospital, specialist, and office for every appointment. The word Duke alone isn't a network check.

For north Durham, include any care you receive at Duke Regional alongside appointments elsewhere in the Triangle. If you live closer to the Granville County line, start with your actual residential county. Where your doctor works doesn't determine your Medicare Advantage service area.

Research Triangle Park is a business district, not a separate Medicare plan market. If you're leaving an employer in RTP, bring your coverage end date and ask the benefits administrator how Medicare coordinates with your plan before you cancel it. A home address and employer address can serve very different purposes in this review.

Care locations to include in a Durham review

These locations help you prepare a doctor list. They don't confirm that a plan covers a hospital or clinician. Check the exact plan, office, service, and year with the insurer and provider. Original Medicare and Medicare Advantage have different rules for choosing providers.
