The government's insurance appears to be unprofitable.
You do not have to quit. You do not have to take medicaid or medicare. There are plenty of other patients. The little
money you get for seeing a medicaid patient is not worth hardly billing it. Most medicare patients have paid for/earned medicare
benefits. Most Medicaid patients, are working the system and need to get a job.
It saves the system money to find
a way to not pay you. With medicaid, you are really paying to see the patients. You need to work for the highest payors, that
would never be medicaid and in most cases not Medicare either. Welcome to the future of medicine if we get universal health
care. If you take Medicare witha Medicaid secondary, Medicaid will pay nothing over what the 80 % of the approved Medicare
payment.
With Medicare and Medicaid, once you are in, you are in. If you are not getting paid for any insurance medicare,
medicaid or other, Do Not See those patients. Turn them away to another provider. You cannot see patients for free!! Provide
good patient care and you will have plenty of paying patients.
