I assume the good Dr. will stop accepting medicare/medicaid claims?
most of the ones I know have stopped medicaid and will bill you and give you the forms to bill medicare.
In other words, they've opted out already. So if you don't have supplemental medicare insurance, you get stuck with their bill...... or a prostate the size of Alabama.
Many of them already have.
Ours stopped taking government patients years ago

Considering what these two programs pay...I bet he stopped years ago! You can’t pay your office staff on what you earn in surgery doing these cases. At least for a few more years people will have private insurance to take care of themselves.
