Regulatory burdens contribute to physician occupational burnout

The vast majority of ophthalmologists opt in as a provider for Medicare because so many of our patients are older than 65 years. Less so for Medicaid, depending on the state. In Medicare, doctors have several choices. They can be a participating provider in Medicare, a nonparticipating provider in Medicare, opt out of Medicare or, according to Jeffrey Liegner, MD, but controversial and rare, if in a small practice with fewer than 10 employees, consider becoming a non-covered entity. In my experience, most ophthalmologists are quite altruistic and dedicated to the best interest of the patients in their practice and community. Patients older than the age of 65 have 10 times the eye pathology of those younger than 65, and almost all of them are enrolled in Medicare, including the wealthy. Thus, if an ophthalmologist wants to be available to a broad array of patients in the community, participation in Medicare is mandatory.
