Hey Patty, My insurance changed this year. I was seeing a Psychatrist for my therapy. This year I can only see one for my med checks. I have to go to a MA or Phd for the therapy part now. For me it was really no big deal; I had a really flaky non med liking shrink. I have found a wonderful new Pdoc for my meds who finally prescribed what I really needed and as far as the therapy thing goes, I'm still waiting on that. Don't have too many issues to deal with anyway. I am sure the change within my insurance company did hurt some ppl, though. Hard for the ones who really have problems to deal with to have to change to someone else when they were comfy with a certain doc. They have to start all over again, and for what? Nothing but money! I have one of the largest insurance companies in the southwest, usa. AUGH, if you think about it, it will drive you crazy! I must say, though, I am very lucky to have it, and I know. ($15 visits/$5 meds) I just hope I don't get really sick!! You can always appeal and see where that goes. Keep trying!
