My brother is a physician, and the managing partner at a pretty good sized practice. One of the reasons they stopped accepting medicare patients is because of identity theft.

Medicare or Medicaid? If Medicare, then the practice doesn't take anyone over 65. Is that correct?

Sorry, I could have Medicaid/Medicare confusion. No, they have patients over 65.

As I think about it, his practice may not take either. He does have patients over 65, but I think those are private insurance patients. I'd have to ask him to be sure.
