[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 336367, member: 1963"] Janet, Dreamer lives in an area where providers are few and far between. And, they call it "private practice" for a reason. A doctor who is not linked to a clinic(that accepts gov't ins) does not have to take insurance of any kind. The objection to ChampVA and Medicare/Medicaid is that they don't pay as much and they take forever to pay. Areas with higher income residents are much more likely to have gov't insurance accepted in cases where resources are limited. But like I said; the only problems I have had have been in explaining how to bill the two insurance companies (Medicare is primary and ChampVA is secondary) and on a couple of occasions having to show someone how to walk through the website. Medicaid basically works the same except it covers dental as well. I am told, however, that dentists accepting Medicaid are few and far between, especially pediatric dentists. I don't have dental coverage through either VA or Medicare, so I have to pay for dental services (and woo boy am I paying!) [/QUOTE]
