health insurance- network dr's not wanting to perform surgery

[Guest guest]

Hello,

I have a plan where you can either see specialists by getting a

referral from a primary care dr. ($10 per visit) or you can see anyone

you want out of the network (they pay 70% of reasonable/customary).

Has anyone ever had a primary care doctor tell them that a lot dr's in

the network don't want to operate because they don't get reimbursed

enough? I've had a situation where 3 dr's in the network didn't want

to operate and 1 dr. I saw out-of-network did. Am I being a bit

paranoid here or is this a valid concern?
