I was hospitalized briefly and asked five healthcare workers who attended me who their PCP was. This name came up three times. We signed up with her 10 yrs ago and so did several couples we referred. We are all still with her and are impressed with her extensive knowledge and thoughtful care. She accepts regular Medicare. Not advantage plans.

No they do not. Had to drop my PCP that I really liked when I retired and went to regular medicare because they only take medicare advantage (because they get a better reimbursement).

Dr. Novis is accepting new patients and I just switched to him after dropping my employer policy when I retired. He seems to be very knowledgeable and takes time (30 minutes for me) with each patient.

Correct. It’s all about money.
They get paid whether they see you or not. What a racket.
