Does any one know for sure if a primary care physician is required to maintain active hospital privelage to stay on insurance network or even medicare or medicaid.
In our hospital a number of primary care physicians are not interested in providing acute care to inpatient any more. They would like to stay only on hospital staff to fullfile insurance requirement. They interested only in office based practice. The question is; do they need to maintain hospital previlage to continue caring for the patient without being disqualified by medicare , medicaid and other insurance company?
