I think it depends on the specialty. When I needed surgery, every doctor that was recommended to me did not accept insurance. [ Reply | More

you can't blame them. Insurance companies are so difficult to deal with. My BIL has his own practice. The insurance companies lose (purposely?) 30% of all his payment requests and deny a bunch more for stupid reasons. Then, if they do pay out money, it's a ridiculously low amount of money. Blame the insurance companies, not the doctors. [ Reply | More

ITA with this. The whole insurance industry is absurd. [ Reply | More

My OB stopped taking insurance. I think she's established enough that she doesn't need the hassle. I don't blame her. [ Reply | More

I feel like the practice / office is much more chaotic when they accept insurance [ Reply | More

yes, generally speaking. The ones who take insurance need to take a ton of patients and spend a short amount of time with each, in order to make decent money (like my BIL). The ones who take insurance generally take their time with their patients. Most of my doctors don't take insurance. [ Reply | More

In terms of actual medical care, not really. In terms of customer service, probably. [ Reply | More

No idea, since we only go to the ones that take our insurance. The exception is the kids' dentist, who does not take it but the insurance company pays us back anyway. [ Reply | More
