One of the problems is that we don't know the true cost of the procedures.  I'm not under Medicare yet - but I do know that Russell Medical is collecting hundreds of dollars from me in advance of any procedure and then I am getting a reimbursement check from Russell.  Since I am insured by BC/BS, wouldn't you think they would know how much BC/BS is going to pay?  

I think we are losing a lot of Drs. and specialists due to low Medicare reimbursements.  And I speculate that in Alex City, they can't keep specicalsts because so many of the agin  population is Medicare, Medicaid.
