Will Doctors Stop Seeing Medicare Patients?
- 12689 POINTSview profileTed RatliffOwner, SFS Associates,While there may be some doctors opting out of the Medicare system, I do not see this as a major concern. Too many doctors have a large percentage of there revenue come from Medicare patients. The concern among doctors is the cuts that Medicare has made, but I do not see a mass exodus from the system.Answered on May 20, 2013flag this answer

Medicare patients are "insured", whether covered by original Medicare (and a supplement) or a Medicare Advantage plan. This insured status means doctors are almost always guaranteed to be paid for their services. Of course medical necessity is the key to getting paid.Answered on March 6, 2014+11 0+1 this answerflag this answerview more answers by Bob Vineyard
