   Medicare is a fee for service program.  A doctor or hospital can agree to accept Medicare patients and thus contract with Medicare to accept the rules and conditions imposed by Medicare, or they can opt out of the Medicare program, in which case a medicare patient would be responsible for payment if they go to that doctor or the doctor can simply refuse Medicare patients.  The same is true for hospitals or other facilities.
