>> But my understanding is that Obamacare tells how much doctors and hospitals can receive from insurance. No, it doesn't do that. >> Your doctor will simply not tell you about the options that will make him lose money. By putting a low dollar value on the reimbursement, the government can influence what doctors tell patients. The expensive options not only aren't offered, they cannot be provided even if you have the bucks to pay for it. You are totally overestimating the level of knowledge physicians have on what they lose money on. A few of the largest clinics have people who evaluate these things. But the vast majority of physicians order the tests they think are needed, totally unaware of how much they'll be paid for them. Often, physicians are no even aware of what kind of insurance coverage a patient has, let alone what that insurance will pay for a particular procedure. Even when the superbill contains the insurance coverage information, it almost never includes allowables. It is all I can do to get physicians to annually increase fees, which every physician should do, always.
