" Try finding another pdoc who takes insurance."
Does your insurance offer out of network coverage ? Mine does 70/30 % for out of network docs. Does your job offer flex spending accounts ? Put aside a small amount each paycheck & then you can draw on it to pay medical bills. It is pre-tax so your dollar buys more.
I decided to see one of the really good pdocs in my area that takes no insurance. The initial hour consult was expensive but after that it is not bad. A years worth of med checks is $ 170 to $340.
I was paying $100 a year in co-pays with the HMO pdoc, the extra $100 to $240 a year was worth it.
