What happens if a provider opts out of Medicare?

Opt-out providers do not accept Medicare at all and have signed an agreement to be excluded from the Medicare program. This means they can charge whatever they want for services but must follow certain rules to do so. Medicare will not pay for care you receive from an opt-out provider (except in emergencies).
