The labels on each row below (for example Original Medicare (May Accept Assignment)) are network identifiers, not the plan names printed on your member ID card. Your specific plan typically maps to one of these networks, but the mapping isn’t exposed in the federal filing. Match the doctor’s name first, then call the office with your member ID to confirm your plan is accepted.
Data is sourced from the federally-mandated CMS Transparency in Coverage filings that every insurer must publish monthly. Last refreshed June 27, 2026.

Physician Experience in Medicare’s Rockland Network
Years since medical school graduation is a reasonable proxy for experience, though it doesn’t capture fellowship training, subspecialty certifications, or years spent in specific clinical settings. For Medicare’s Rockland network the breakdown below gives a quick sense of whether you’re picking from a predominantly early-career roster or one weighted toward veteran practitioners.
A network heavy on early-career doctors (0–5 years) often means lower wait times for new patients and exposure to the latest training, while veteran providers (30+ years) typically bring deeper pattern recognition for unusual presentations. A balanced distribution. roughly one-quarter in each bucket. is a healthy signal that the insurer has depth at every career stage, not just new graduates filling out its directory.

Why don't I see specific Medicare plan names like Bronze or Silver?
Medicare files its Rockland provider directory at the network level rather than by consumer plan name. The labels above (such as Original Medicare (May Accept Assignment)) are the network identifiers Medicare uses internally. Your specific plan, whether commercial group, Medicare, or Medicaid, maps to one of these networks but the federal filing format doesn't expose which plan goes with which network. To verify your exact plan covers a specific doctor, call the provider with your member ID handy.
How do I verify a doctor is in-network with Medicare?
Three steps: first match the doctor's name against this list, second call the provider's office with your member ID to confirm they currently accept your specific Medicare plan, and third check Medicare's own member portal for the most authoritative real-time status. Networks change between monthly federal filings; our data was last refreshed June 27, 2026.
What if my doctor isn't listed here?
This list reflects Medicare's submitted network data as of the last federal filing on June 27, 2026.
