I've got the coverage, but where are doctors?

My health insurer recently expanded its coverage to include total payment of Medicare as well as the usual covered items.

Their new PFFS (private fee for service), USA Care, means the physician does not contact Medicare at all.

less paperwork for the doctor, right?

So, why can't I find a doctor to accept USA Care? Did progress skip Greensboro doctors?

better put on your big girl pants, the homegrowns are gonna take you to task !

I have the same problem, when I worked the company supplied us with Blue Cross, when we retire they put us on United Health Care. Only 5 doctors in this area take it. I think we have over 400 doctors in this area.
