CAN they afford to let go of Medicare? I would think that it's a huge chunk of her practice, especially neurology. Conservatively, I would say AT LEAST 1/3 of her business (think alzheimer/dementia pts). If Medicare reimbursements decline, wouldn't MA reimbursements necessarily decline in tandem?
No. Maybe "you're" right or "you're" correct. You know, as in you are right or you are correct.

What's happening here is this physician apparently can't afford the upgrade of her IT, which is now a requirement for ERM compliance. I guess its an expensive process and a lot of small family practices are non-compliant. The're getting penalized for this.
Most providers lose $$$ on Medicare pts or at best, break even. Figures I have seen for the EMR software start around $40k and go up.
Many practices are selling out to larger groups or hospitals to avoid having to shoulder the cost of new software. Other changes to Medicare reimbursement (accountability) make the squeeze even worse, especially for those that treat high risk patients.
If you drill down the article is about Obamacare and limited access to health care.

I know, I caught your're joke...guess you didn't catch mine.
Oh no I got it. I just played along for the benefit of others.
