Finding out what’s in it: New York doctors express their strong reluctance to participate in Obamacare.
Despite a much publicized rollout, many other doctors said they haven’t decided whether to become ObamaCare providers, because they haven’t been notified by insurers or the state about reimbursement rates. “I have not spoken with anyone who has made a decision to participate in the exchanges. We simply don’t have any information about which we can make a decision,” said Dr. Paul Orloff, president of the New York County Medical Society. “We have no idea what the reimbursements will be or what the claims-form process will entail.”
This is another problem for Obamacare: If doctors end up refusing to accept the insurance plans and go freelance, then the law cannot work.
