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. Nevertheless, this question is another way of asking if you'll see anybody who needs to be seen.

"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.

Then...
But if a patient needs my attention, it really doesn't matter what or if insurance is current or not at all. I'll see anyone who requires my care."
