[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]What is the conversation like when a doctor is letting a patient go. Is it veiled as something else or is it explicitly stated? And is Medicare a reason or not? I mean, doctors are paid less, so I can see that. [/quote] Some doctors stop taking Medicare due to low reimbursement but I haven’t known of docs to fire patients faster just because of their insurance, while keeping other patients who act the same way but who have commercial insurance. If I’ve fired a patient it’s been notification through snail mail with 30-60 days notice that we can no longer keep them as a patient and that their medical needs will be best served elsewhere. I include a list of specialists that are taking new patients. If they call and ask (only one has done so) the receptionist has told them why (in that case it was for 4 no shows in a row)[/quote]
