Moffitt Cancer Center and Moffitt Medical Group accept Original Medicare and accept Medicare assignments. All Medicare supplements, also known as "Medigap" policies, are accepted by Moffitt Cancer Center and Moffitt Medical Group except for Medicare "Select" supplements.

Moffitt Cancer Center is only contracted with one Medicare Select supplement (Ameri-Plus Preferred Care).
Moffitt is also a participating provider for a number of Medicare Advantage, also known as Medicare Replacement, plans. Make sure that Moffitt and our physicians are part of your Medicare Advantage plan during Medicare’s open enrollment period.

IMPORTANT MESSAGE: The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) announced that Medicare will cover low-dose CT lung cancer screenings for high-risk beneficiaries between the ages of 55-74. It was scientifically proven in 2010 that screening can reduce overall death from lung cancer, which is currently the No. 1 cancer killer in the U.S. by at least 20%.
