I could not know that for sure however he does a lot of surgeries on a daily basis and based on my experiences with Dermatologists over 30 years I do find that the chances of having a MOHS surgery even for basil cell have been much greater with the Dermatologists in The Villages and that cost, justified or not, could be a prime reason why they are no longer accepted by the Plan and not greed of insurance companies or some nefarious scheme cooked up by the Villages Health Plan. Point is no one knows why they were dropped, except perhaps Allient but no reason was Disclosed as far as I know. I am sure Medicare does not just pick names out of a hat.
