I think you need to ask your doctor for a clarification.  Our doctor told my wife late last year that since all Obamacare patients are under private insurance carriers and since the interaction is with the insurance carriers and not the government exchanges, his office had no major changes in the way they operate other than the typical annoying and often inexplicable routine year to year changes in records keeping instituted by the insurance companies and Medicare and setting up accounts for new patients and their insurance carriers.

There is a new federal requirement that all medical practices and hospitals begin move toward a universal computerized system of medical records to insure the quick and accurate and safe transmission of medical records.  This requirement was originally put into Obamacare by GOP members of Congress and supported by Democrats because it made sense and in the false belief it would make the bill more palitable to some Republicans. 

It is also my understanding that no medical practice is required to be a part any particular insurance carriers approved list of practioners just as there is no requirement that any doctor accept Medicare patients.
