Seeing me for 15 min. and charging the insurance company for 50 min.Here here,im being seen a good 5,on a good day 10 min,im made to feel lucky i get that,and im being charged 30 min.My doc attempts to dominate every min of it as well,cutting me off and huffing and puffing,seeing her is actualy somewhat dramatic.
I know some r saying my god change docters,you have to understand ive seen the majority of docters here,who were worse!Then u have some major side blocks to going to a new doc...
- You have to make an initial appointment,most doc offices will require u to see a therpaist first,so now u r wiating 3 weeks to see a therpiast,so she can give the ok to see the p-doc.
- Now u have ur ok,again its the initial visit so u have at least a 3 week wait,iniital visits since they are longer,usualy are not allowed cancellations,so unlike shooitng for one,that is no longer an option and u have to WAIT.So now we have a 3 week wait,on top of a additional 3week wait.
-Now ur first visits requires higher payment,here usualy about 150 dollers,compared to a normal 70 med check.
- Finaly u waited ur sex weeks,emptied ur wallet and r sitting in front of the new doc,now ur rolling dice in hopes this doc is any better,you are new so u will be sujuect to many meds u dont Want since this doc might wanna use em.Not only that but theres the possability u rolled snake eyes and this doc simply isnt any better.
Congratulations,u just finished the process,and r in a worst spot than u were.
With my doc now,im able to make cancelation appt. which usualy enables me to see her within the week i need too with no prior appt.
Ive been allowed a tab so to speak,they do not hound me on payments.
I know she works with maois,last attempt at a NEW doc i was told he would go to BASICS remove my maoi and use prozac,im open to new ideas but putting me on something i had numerous trials with just doesent make sense to me.So for those reasons i humble myself and allow this woman to charge me full sessions for 10 min of time.Yess im in the process of seeing a new doc,but im moving slow and careful this time.
