This is the main reason we have opted out of Medicare and Medicaid. The same thing happened in this state, only fraud charges brought by Medicare against a physician for giving away services for free. They finally backed down after every MD in the state threatened to quit Medicare. Moral for me: don't take government money, don't sign contracts, don't promise your lowest charges to anyone.
This is what I don't understand. Don't want to say too much since above sounds like it would be called antitrust or whatever, but not two doctors have threatened that here. I don't understand how that would not work as far as negotiating. But, it seems that the board would have a lot of leverage with suspending licenses while there would be mass havoc on the infrastructure of patient care for weeks.
