No, they will not, actually. At least in the lower-middle, Medicaid spectrum of care.
Physicians at this level serve the labor market, and everything they do is ordered to keeping you able-bodied and working and on the job and not taking sick days.
They have always been reluctant to dispense excuses from work, to document any sort of disability related trouble, or to give advice that does not involve more exercise or more medication.
I have honestly approached multiple doctors in multiple health systems to complain about fatigue, syncope, and exhaustion, and they all go to extraordinary lengths to deny that anything is wrong or that anything should change.
- trollbridge 1y agoI use Medicaid and have never found that to be the case. In fact, I’d prefer to be back on full work duties, but I’m still on light duty until my next appointment, assuming he restores me to full duty. Providers who are reimbursed via Medicaid have zero incentive specific to Medicaid to not give out work “excuses”, document disabilities and so on. Generally speaking the same providers serve both Medicaid and non-Medicaid patients. Perhaps there are some states where the Medicaid providers are really awful (California?).
