Seems to be happening too much for my comfort level. Madison clinic's decision to stop taking new Medicare patients could be start of trend

Only in some areas, I imagine. Providers near older neighborhoods, for example cannot afford to cut them out. I live in Central Florida, and for a provider to quit adding MediCare patients it would be suicide.

Posted by LeCherie But if the cost of everything else that they must use is going up, what choice will they have? Rent Taxes Labor and everything that goes with it Supplies Technology associated with medical records Those that will add more and more Medicare patients, especially in FL., as the baby boomer retire will have longer and longer wait times because those PCP and Clinics will not have the money for any expansion or even to invest in any new healthcare technology. |
