CenterWell Senior Primary Care — How It Works With Your Medicare Options
CenterWell Senior Primary Care focuses on preventive, team-based care for Medicare beneficiaries. The key is plan compatibility—which Medicare Advantage (or Original Medicare + supplement) pairs best with the CenterWell location near you. As an independent agency, we compare your local plan options, confirm CenterWell participation, and coordinate referrals so your benefits work smoothly from day one in 2026.
Quick facts (what to know before you enroll)

| Referrals & care team | Primary-care–led with care managers, pharmacy consults, and specialist coordination (referral rules depend on plan). |

| Vaccines | Often $0 for ACIP-recommended vaccines under Part B/D rules | Part B/D rules apply; admin fees possible | Which vaccines bill under B vs D at your clinic |
