Anthem, for example, sells different plans on and off the Obamacare exchanges. The Obamacare plans are eligible for subsidies but generally have narrower networks, so a doctor may be in the network for an off-exchange plan but not for an exchange plan. And the doctor's office will know from your policies "group number" what kind of plan you are in.

My kids' allergists office has a sign up stating that they do not accept any ACA exchange policies or Medicare Advantage policies (they do, however, accept regular Medicare).
