There are two classes of providers, those that accept Medicare assignments, and those that don't. If they don't accept assignment, but are still providers, they are still bound by reimbursement restrictions, although they get somewhat more according to Medicare scale. The penalty for patients of such doctors is if they have secondary insurance, often that insurer will deduct what Medicare would have paid, even if it didn't, before reimbursing patient. ------------------------------------- You are subscribed as interesting-people () lists elistx com To manage your subscription, go to http://v2.listbox.com/member/?listname=ip Archives at: http://www.interesting-people.org/archives/interesting-people/
