Doctor who only serves Medicare patients [View all]

This doctor not only serves Medicare patients but does home visits. She has only one employee a medical coder/receptionist. Who works out of her home.
She does not have a clinic, but does home visits. Saves tons of money.
Doctors are not dropping Medicare but instead are making it work, with PNs and PAs.
