Zeitgiest why does she keep getting a new doctor? When my insurance changes (every year it seems)

Posted by Bacon (aka redmond) Apr 26 '11, 19:06

sometimes my Cardiologist isn't on the plan. So I see her for checkups and do my tests at covered sites and she reviews the results.

I wouldn't trade her for anything. I like having someone that knows my history and has given me great results.

I literally trust her with my life. Not to mention she knows how to handle my hospital phobia pretty good now.

LIR: zeitgeist: do you want to talk to the doc tonight? If so just call the main hospital number and ask the operator to figure out who the on-call - James Bond (aka Igor) Apr 26, 20:11 1
- yeah, bring her in and sit on those hard plastic seats for a few hours till we get to you -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 20:24
military hosp, they send them to iraq, but lately her primary has stayed the same, but her surgeon screwed with the BP THIS TIME -- nm - z's replacement droid Apr 26, 19:09 1
- That is really frustrating. I hope they get her under control. Argh!! Anyway to go back to what she was on?? -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 19:10
Never mind this question. Military hospital = doctors rotating in and out. VA is the same way. -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 19:08 6
- Are people who have military benefits not able to go to a regular hospital? is their insurance not good there? -- nm - kelly Apr 26, 19:10 5
  - Yeah, VA hospital or military base. I think if you are out of an area you can use private hospital but I don't know the radius. - Bacon Apr 26, 19:12 4
    - seniors tricare is just another part B provider, but everything is free, all meds etc - z's replacement droid Apr 26, 19:18 3
      - Doesn't part b allow her to get medical care at any hospital? Or maybe thats just medicare b? -- nm - kelly Apr 26, 19:22
      - My Dad won't leave the VA system even though he is old enough for Medicare. -- nm - Bacon Apr 26, 19:21 1
        
        exactly, in fact one of the reasons we decided to move to this town was that we figured they wouldn't close all the bases like they did in NoCal -- nm - zeitgeist Apr 26, 23:32
