If think you’re mixing up Medicare (old people) and Medicaid (poor people).
Doctors love Medicare. It pays them nearly instantly, steady stream of clients, and known fixed rates commensurate with most private negotiated rates.
Medicaid is the one that has much stricter benefit rules and tighter price guidelines.
- dredmorbius 5y agoQuite possibly. Thanks.
- LorenPechtel 5y agoSteady stream of clients, but it doesn't pay much. Many docs limit the number of medicare patients they'll take because of this.
