June 29, 2008, 3:31pm (report abuse)I FEEL THAT THE MEDICARE BILL VOTED ON JULY 1, 2008 IS NOT BENEFICIAL TO PHYSICAL THERAPY PATIENTS. THE BILL SHOULD BE VOTED DOWN BECAUSE IT LIMITS THE NUMBER OF VISITS ALLOWED FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY. THE PATIENTS MEDICAL WELL BEING WILL BE JEOPARDIZED.

Unfortuantely we are seeing the cost contract with Rocky Mountain HMO in Western CO being used to pay doctors 130-140% of the Medicare Assignment Rate. This giving doctors an excuse to exercise legal discrimination against low income seniors by not accepting medicare advantage plans. The fact that these very expensive medicare cost contracts are being used to discriminate against low income seniors while trying to rid out medicare advantage competitors for the sake of preserving their cost contract is deeply concerning and disturbing to the taxpayer footing the bill.
