Physicians Worry About Lower Pay Through Exchanges
Many physicians say they are concerned about the reimbursement rates for insurance plans sold through the federal and state health insurance exchanges, which are expected to pay them less to care for millions of newly insured patients. According to doctors, it is unclear how much they will be paid to treat patients enrolled in exchange plans, or even which plans they are included in, because insurers have not all clearly defined proposed rate reductions.
