It's been tough trying to keep up with insurance changes. I had cultivated other options for Medicare patients when some of the 'bigger boys' like Regan and Delamarter quit taking insurance.

I had a chance to spend some time with Dr. Regan yesterday and I'm pleased to report that he is currently taking medicare. The situation can change as reimbursement levels are ping-ponging all over the place. They will be adjusting in and out of programs as the reimbursement levels can get to be so low, it's not worth their while.

For now, it's good news for the Medicare patients. Both in his Los Angeles office and Anaheim, you can see him under Medicare.

On another note, for those of you who are worried about the difficult landscape for health insurance companies; it was reported on the news today that their Q1 through Q3 (released today) profits this year are up 41%.
How they continue to rape American businesses and consumers and take billions out of the system while the national economy is in shambles is beyond me. All of this while they continue to reduce services.

Off the soap box for now...
