i have to dispute that statement because your health insurance provider dictates to you which Doctors you may choose from.
Then, you have to determine whether or not they are accepting
new patients ESPECIALLY when seeking a new
primary care physician....
the worst thing about health care as i see it...
is the referral system which is left entirely up to the patient
to follow up on to make sure they received it or
you are billed IN FULL by the specialist's services. It's almost completely worth it to wait for a written referral letter and give the specialist's staff a copy to avoid this billing issue.
