[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s not sketchy, it’s a way for your doctor’s office to get reimbursed for non face to face care that they provide and Medicare is willing to finally pay for.

Why not allow the office to collect these fees so they can continue to offer things that take time, staffing, EMR, etc?

Because   the doctor isn't managing any of my conditions. I see specialists that he has nothing  to do with.  He does not prescribe any meds, he does not communicate with my drs and he barely understands my meds. 
I show up one time a year for a wellness visit. 
If my spouse or I need an appointment beyond  that like for a virus or sprain,  we see PAs there as that is who we are assigned to in an appt. And what time  for visits? 10 minutes. 
The doctor now billing Medicare  is a doctor I have  not seen..ever,,as my usual one left. 
Medicare pays a fraction for the bill,  then  my secondary refuses to pay the rest and then  I am billed 50 bucks- every month.  What? On top of Medicare payments and secondary  insurance  payments? 
Lastly this form I signed said none of what was happening,  , listed Medicare services that are services everyone gets when going to the dr, and no mention of extra costs to us. Yes, that is sketchy. If you want more money, then  bill  the actual amount for the visit, period. Let's  not pretend that the doctor is coordinating our  total care. [/quote]
