i have read some doctors closed up practice because of delays in payments.. they just cannot afford the float. I appreciate the problem. I think it's a sin. I make extra trips to my doctor just so she can earn some money off me--to try to compensate. But the point I was arguing was not whether their policies were optimal or whether their processing was accurate or efficient but whether they were arbitrary in denying claims. I don't think that's the case. Don't get me wrong. I think Medicare is a scandal and I won't be an apologist for it. I am just trying to me incisive in my criticism.
