Doctors don’t always accept Medicare since it usually doesn’t pay physicians as much as many private insurance companies, leaving more of the expense to patients. Some doctors who practice family medicine avoid accepting Medicare because of the paperwork. Often, the primary care clinic can’t staff adequately to keep up with all of the paperwork required when accepting a variety of insurance providers. However, we’re staffed accordingly, and our team is experienced with handling the complexities entailed with Medicare paperwork. Our family practice wants as many people as possible to benefit from our assistance. We take the time and put forth the effort to accept Medicare, so we turn away as few patients as possible. Truly, everyone should have access to quality medical care. Currently, about 44 million people in the US have Medicare. With so many people utilizing this insurance, we feel inclined to accept it in order to assist as many individuals in the area as we can.
