In the latest scare tactic used and repeated over the last week is that doctors are going to refuse to accept Health Insurance Exchange policies. Reince Preibus said that to Chris Jansing Friday morning and she was clueless on how to challenge this bogus argument, but not other arguments. This idea that doctors won't accept these policies is a talking point parroted by Congressional members hell bent upon derailing ACA. It's an old saw and it's wonkish to parse out the argument. That said, "Doctor's refusing to accept ACA Exchange policies" is a threat summed up in one word, hogwash.
That ship already sailed. Health insurers had to fulfill a requirement within the ACA that each policy had an "adequate provider network". So, this argument that doctors won't accept ACA policies is one year out of date. The physicians, hospitals, diagnostic centers and more have already seen the reimbursement fee schedules and signed up to take these insurance policies.
This isn't a new rule (pdf), it was published in the Federal Register 2012. NCQA the "deemed authority" agreed to change their accreditation standards. If health insurers wanted their policy to be accepted by the NCQA, and be accepted on the Health Insurance Exchange they have to comply with the "adequate network standards" (which is written in English, here (pdf)).
It's a statement full of buffalo feathers that I've detailed out below, however, if you want to skip to the story's end? Priebus is spouting balogna.
