Welcome to mass medicine. On medicare, even your doctor is told what he/she can charge and they are told they must see 4 patients an hour. That is 15 minutes each
Really???? They tell physicians that??? And you came to this conclusion how????
Bottom line, you are clueless about what you're talking about, Medicare has no such requirement.
Also, Medicare does not dictate what a doctor can charge, only what they will reimburse. That's why concierge physicians do not participate in Medicare. (or any other insurance for that matter)
