Many Doctors are as Confused as their Patients over Obamacare?

More than a month after HealthCare.gov and 15 state-based exchanges opened for business, consumers and even physicians are finding it's isn't easy or even possible sometimes to find out which doctors and hospitals are in the plans' provider networks. 

"Some states, they have it, and for some, it isn't available. It 's a big unknown for the patient," says Anders Gilberg, senior vice president of government affairs for the Medical Group Management Association, whose members manage doctors' practices. "It's very much up in the air."

That means insurance shoppers often can't choose plans that their doctors participate in — or that include doctors near them. It also means doctors may not be able to confirm they're in a plan when consumers ask them. While consumers may now occasionally find a doctor listed on their commercial insurance plan isn't accepting patients or is no longer on the network, at least they can reliably find provider lists and doctors at least know what plans they currently participate in. 

Gilberg says he wouldn't buy a plan "if I didn't know if my physicians were in the network or the hospital was in the network."

If the following statements in response to the above weren't so bizarre, they'd be hysterical. They're in total disregard to those who have insurance already and want to keep it along with their doctor(s):

...."The Health Insurance Marketplace will significantly improve access to care for people who lack affordable health coverage today," said Joanne Peters, an HHS spokeswoman. "The good thing about the law is that now people have more options to shop for a plan that includes their doctor, whereas before they didn't have the ease and flexibility to do that."...
