In reply to should i change pdocs?, posted by woolav on January 2, 2005, at 17:45:58
If the only reason you want to continue w/your current pdoc is because you like your current med combo, then I would find a new pdoc that takes your insurance and tell him or her on the phone before you agree to see them that you are happy with the drugs you are on and want to make sure that he/she will be willing to prescribe them to you. You should probably phrase it something like: I welcome your advice about the medications that I am on, but for the time being they are working very well for me and I want to make sure that if I do schedule an appointment with you that you would be comfortable refilling my prescriptions for these drugs.
You must have more than one pdoc in your area who take your health insurance and I'm sure that at least one of them would be open to the very reasonable request that you be allowed to continue taking the medications that work right for you.
> Hello all, my new insurance doesnt cover my current pdoc and if i continue to go to her then i have to pay full price. But, she has me on a good med combo (after about 2 yrs of trials and errors) I am not sure if i saw a new doc whether he would continue the regamine that i am on now or try to mess me up....
> any advise??
