I am new to this area and I have been trying to locate a new primary care doctor but there are some bad areas here and there. I don't really want to go to some unprofessional facility because I have seen some. Like I went to one place and there were all these people hanging out waiting to get some Saboxone or something. That is not what I want.

My question is this, If a doctor accepts Medicare and Medicaid is that a sign that they might not be the type of doctor that can command higher prices as they are lower performers?

That's just silly... you are going to judge a doctor on whether they accept medicare and medicaid? Most doctors accept it and that doesn't mean they are low-end doctors because they do.

Ask around... that is the best way for you to find a doctors office that will meet your standards.

You can find a good doctor by asking around, even at various desks in hospital clinics and specialty areas. Drop in at a law firm. Ask a vet. A gym or fitness club.

Oh my goodness. I read some of your other posts...
This one is strange too. I wonder where you were raised, no offence?
Not only do most doctors bill ALL insurance carriers, but the charges above the 'low prices' Medicare and Medicaid cover are frequently charged to the patient.
I find it odd that this is all new to you.
