Medicare patients are generally very sick and/or old. They usually have multiple medical problems. Often they will require at least 45 minutes blocked out to see them.
How would you like to know that the BEST you can charge is $40?
And don't forget that if you make a minor mistake in coding or billing, that the government will come down on you like a ton of bricks, bankrupting you or sending you to jail.
Not worth that kind of risk for such a tiny "payday".
Better off just to not see medicare patients at all.
This pains me, because there are so many people out there that depend on medicare. Some very good people.
But, you wanted Obama, you get Obama.
Good luck in finding a provider within 50 miles. And good luck if they speak English.
Aristocracy, government by a relatively small privileged class or by a minority consisting of those felt to be best qualified to rule.
When Congress the President and VP have Platinum pay, retirement and health care for LIFE, while voting and signing into laws making you the SLAVE to pay for it, and giving you RATIONED health care and retirement, you just became a PEON, PEASANT or SLAVE to them. TIME TO WAKE DC UP! and tell them same standards or out!
Same goes for those who commit crimes while in Congress or Senate. JAIL, FINES.
