Medicare and medicaid have traditionally underpaid regular commercial insurance with the result that more and more doctors have dropped it over the years.

So it makes sense that payments would concentrate around certain doctors that are still accepting it because more people on medicare will go to them simply because they don't have any other choice, especially in areas that have high concentrations of the elderly, like Florida.
