I know one thing I have heard of is that in many areas, particularly rural areas, general practitioners are opting out of the insurance system altogether. They won't take any insurance, but they save enough by not having to jump through all the paperwork hoops that they can afford to charge office-visit fees close to the copayments required by many insurance plans for the same office visit.
