Wouldn’t Medicare have to approve of your “unorthodox” treatment before they pay for it as well?

Don’t forget about nursing and convalescent homes and services. Many do NOT take Advantage plans.
Those that do may not be up to your standards or may not have beds/rooms available when you need them.

I’m in a rural area of Arkansas, but I have never run across a doctor, clinic, or hospital that didn’t take Medicare. I have conventional Medicare.

Perhaps unorthodox wasn't a good choice of words. It might be better described as not having a lot of studies behind it compared to the more mainstream treatments. The weird thing is that it was covered for a year in the Advantage plan, but now isn't covered.

That's good to know.

Moving into or out of a SNF/LTC or other applicable institution qualifies for a special enrollment/plan change. That can mean switching to a different MA or switching back to Original Medicare (or other potential changes).

I’m not seeing transfer from a hospital to a rehabilitation center covered by your link.
