Also, at one time i was seeing a crappy pdoc who would write a rx for whatever i requested, AND i had a very talented T that new odd, or off-label meds. we'd discuss them and then i'd go request from pdoc...
about the ins...this is a growing issue. but you cant' let bureaucracy win... you must do whatever it takes to get the help you need. and quite frankly this site has been a Great help regarding meds and advice on pdocs.

Some only accept cash now here. And this doesn't make them better. Just avoiding the low payments from insurance which most probably will get worse? Phillipa
