Educational purpose

Everything published here is intended to help physicians understand the questions involved in changing how a practice is paid. It is general information written for a broad audience.

It is not a determination of your eligibility for anything, a recommendation of a particular course of action, or a substitute for advice from your own professionals.

Regulatory information

Medicare requirements are set out in federal law and regulation and are administered through Medicare Administrative Contractors. Those requirements are detailed, they change over time, and they apply differently depending on circumstances.

We deliberately do not publish procedural instructions, deadlines, forms, or template documents on this site. Any specific requirement should be confirmed against current official Medicare materials and reviewed with qualified advisers before you act on it.

No guarantee of outcomes

Practice change carries uncertainty. Patient response, local market conditions, referral relationships, payer behaviour, and your own pricing decisions all affect the result.

Nothing on this website is a promise or projection of revenue, profitability, patient retention, or any other outcome.

No endorsement or certification claimed

OptOutMD is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or acting on behalf of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services or any government agency.

We do not claim certification, accreditation, or a guarantee of compliance with any regulatory framework on your behalf.

Not clinical advice

This website does not provide medical advice and is not directed at patients seeking care. Patients should speak with their own physician about their treatment and with their practice about billing questions.
