Keep Best Insurance w/ Direct Care Program --> Re: Re: Dropping insurance: kicking a broken system in the butt

[Guest guest]

Elaine, I accept BCBS-NC PPO. But I don't accept BCBS indemnity plans. And I'm

not taking new patients with NC Health Choice. There is nothing in their

contract with me that says I have to accept all of these, and I would not have

signed it if it did. That said, I think I have only one patient who has

insurance of these other flavors who continues to see me out-of-network.
