I wish I could answer some of those questions but I am new at this. We were told that nothing will change until mid-September but there is a caveat that if total patients reach 400, you'll be put on a waiting list. We couldn't get how many have gone with the new arrangement when the presentation was made. I know that in addition to the monthly dues, we will be charged for services rendered but we don't know what that means. There is supposed to be a complete check up as preventive measures. Since many of us are concerned about.senility as we age, I asked whether MRI will be covered under this preventive care but the answer was no. I thought this will be preventive as dimentia may be checked in advance. If any case, Medicare will cover physical check-up once a year when Obamacare kicks in. So what is this extra. Also, i have veen happy with the time spent with the doctor and a little inconvenience of waiting or getting schedule, i thought i could live with. Guess from the posts, other corporations are doing this. What happens to those people who can't afford this cost. In my judgment it is a stiff cost but is this where medicine is headed?
