2009 Medicare Participating Physicians Directory Now Available
The year 2009 Medicare Participating Physicians Directory (MEDPARD) is now available, via Internet only, here. As in the past, hardcopies of the directory will not be distributed.
If you do not have access to the Internet at home, many local libraries and senior centers have computers available with Internet access. Also, your local Social Security or Area Agency on Aging offices may be able to assist you as well. As always, Highmark Medicare Services can assist you by calling 1-800-MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227), selecting option 3 and entering service code 00865. A Highmark Medicare Services’ Customer Service Representative will provide you with information for participating doctors in your area.
To view the year 2008 MEDPARD on the Internet:
- Enter here on your browser’s navigational window;
- Click on the “People with Medicare” tab;
- Click on “Find a Physician;”
- Use the arrows/pull down windows to select a specific specialty in a specific county;
- Click on the “Submit” button. The doctor choices in your area will be displayed alphabetically.
When you contact a doctor’s office for an appointment, we recommend you ask whether or not the doctor is still a Medicare participating supplier.
