Re: Have you encountered difficulty findings a new primary care physician,
FYI----It's same every year for past several years, based on legislation passed by the then Congress. Never anyone on either side of the issue completely satisfied. Trust Fund solvency, access to care, speciality MDs versus GPs; other health care provider-types. It's more complicated than just an arbitrary "cut". The basis is in that prior legislation which has a reimbursement formula--that hasn't really be implemented fully in several years, so that the adjustment figure can continue to grow.
Stats show nationally very few docs opt out, however. But if it's in your geographic area it is a concern, of course.
Complex issue, for sure.
