I just received a letter that effective May 1 the new occupants will discontinue serving Medicare patients, recognizing only Humana, Optimum, Freedom and WellCare.
"We ask that if you do not have one of the insurances listed above that you find another physician at your earliest convenience."
These doctors all know that Medicare will not reimburse diddly-squat and are adjusting accordingly....through early "retirement" and other maneuvers.
Folks, this was dropped on me like a bombshell after just getting out of the hospital from a bout of pneumonia. Despite being ill, I had to scramble to find a new family doctor and get my records to him. It was a nightmare.
I urge you to check with your family medical providers to see what's up with them. Press your doctor even if he's as lovable as Doctor Gillespie....because they may be secretive about any changes they're making. Check out your parent's or family seniors' future status for them also.
It may be difficult to find a Medicare doctor who won't be on overload.
A word to the wise....... it's here.....and ObamaScarey is NOT going to be kindler and gentler.
