Provider Choices

When you enroll as a provider in the Medicare Program, you can:

STEP 1 Apply to enroll in Original Medicare

STEP 2 Decide whether to apply to enroll in any MA Plans

Note: Retail pharmacies can enroll in Medicare to offer covered Part B services as a supplier. Pharmacies decide whether to contract with specific MA Plans or the Medicare drug plan.
