Just like an addicted gambler or drinker. He can't keep his hands out of the cookie jar if unmonitored and he doesn't want to go to jail. He's trying to clean up his messes and get off the radar.Had not considered that angle, but it makes more sense than other speculations.
OM is simple to administer on the provider side and OM/Medigap generally pay quicker than MA plans . . . so why would a provider want to limit the practice to managed care and cash only?
That's the only possible reason I can think of. Could be way wrong of course.
