As I turn 65 and transition to Medicare later this year, I’m curious if anyone already there discovered that he or she encountered many health care providers who have opted out of accepting Medicare. A 2013 annual reportby the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission, an independent congressional agency, shows that 28% of beneficiaries seeking a new primary-care physician the previous year had trouble finding one who accepted Medicare. As someone whose primary care doc is retiring, should I expect difficulty finding a new one accepting Medicare?
