Need to find physicians that accept Medicare and do revisions, can anyone help?

I have a physician who when I started accepted Medicare and does revisions. I meet all of Medicare's guidelines for revisions, but was told today by doctor's office that hospital is now requiring all Medicare revisions to be done as self-pay paid in full before the surgery can be done. She stated that the hospital made this decision because they are not getting reimbursed by Medicare in over a year and she doesn't know it is a coding issue or what. I spoke with someone at Medicare and they confirmed I met all the criteria and it is a covered benefit. He stated he doesn't know why the hospital is not being paid if the people met the criteria and suggested it might be a coding issue. He also suggested I find another physican and facility and switch to them. I don't really want to do this, but will if there is not any other way. The doctor's office is supposed to be talking with the hospital some more next week in regards to this matter. Meanwhile, I want to explore my options. According to this website, I have found 3 that does revisions and accepts Medicare, they are Jeffrey Lord, John Nye, and Jeffrey Friedman. Does anyone know of any doctor that maybe able to help me?
