Re: Finding Medicare Doctor

[Guest guest]

,

A good Doctor in a multi-physician clinic might just have taken on a new doctor

and they usually accept Medicare. I look at their prospectus, where they trained

and how long they trained and the journals or seminars they have given, written

or attended. I have gotten several surgeons this way.

This is the Medicare Directory and how to get Medicare to pay for a second and

even third opinion.
