This is news to me. I've had several clients tell me a doctor's office told them they weren't accepting any NEW Medicare patients.
And according to this nearly two year old survey, 21% of PCP's were accepting Medicare, but not NEW Medicare patients. Meaning they are limiting how many Medicare patients they see.

Are you stating 21% of PCP's are breaking the law?
That doesn't differentiate between original medicare and MA.
If something exists from CMS saying that doctors can pick and chose between original medicare clients I would like to see it.
On page 64 of the 2017 Medicare and You booklet the question about where to get health care is answered. That's speaking of original medicare. On page 66 they define "private contracts". But that's for providers whom have decided to "not provide services to anyone through Medicare".
