QuantiaMD conducted a recent poll of its members in order to understand physician perspectives regarding the implementation of the Affordable Care Act. Despite millions of enrollees, individuals and doctors remain confused about the law – a troubling fact as many patients look to their physicians as a primary resource on health care policy.
The poll garnered responses from 1,265 physicians from around the country and opened up a dialog about the ACA. Results of the study included:
- 84% of physicians said they did not feel like they had enough information on the ACA to serve as a reliable resource to their patients.
- 81% of physicians don’t feel they have enough information on the ACA to understand its impact on their practice and comply with its requirements.
- When asked where they get the most reliable information about the ACA, the majority (35%) of physicians responded saying there aren’t any reliable sources of information.
- 79% said they would use an HHS-produced FAQ with their patients if such a resource were available.
