In the Ophthalmologist Compensation Report: 2013, Medscape asked respondents whether they would consider not taking Medicare patients. Medicare traditionally reimburses lower than private payers for the same procedures.
The ophthalmologists responded:
• I plan to stop taking new Medicare/Medicaid patients: 7 percent
• I plan to stop taking current Medicare/Medicaid Patients: 2 percent
• I will continue taking new and current Medicare/Medicaid patients: 61 percent
• I have not yet decided: 30 percent
