It'a unfortunate that rates are going up for many, but Medicare reimbursement to doctors is so bad, that many doctors no longer take Medicare patients. Those that do overbook to make up the difference. Someone has to pay the doctors, their staff, the overhead, etc., and if you honestly believe that Medicare reimbursement at the current levels is sufficient, there are a couple of bridge in Brooklyn for sale.
