QUESTION 21 OF 25
Do you accept Medicare assignment?
This is really no business of theirs, unless there is a policy that you must be a 'participating doctor' accepting Medicare assignment. If it's a group, this might be so; if it's a hospital, it only applies to those employed by the hospital, not independent staff.
"Yes, I am a participating doctor in accepting Medicare assignment.
Alternatively, I accept Medicare but am a non-participating doctor for accepting assignment.
Alternatively, I do not accept Medicare and have opted out. (This is likely incompatible with being a cardiologist)."
