My first pdoc, I walked into the clinic which adjusted the billing on a sliding scale based on the poverty level, I qualified for 100% help. This lasted a few years until Obamacare forced us to have insurance which was a HMO, so I got referred to another pdoc who turned out to be a real *****, so I went back to my other pdoc that happen to take the same insurance. I almost got on a PPO, but it was easier to just stay on the HMO. Besides, I just got to go to a pdoc and they'll just request a referral from my doctor, no biggy.

I just call around till I can see one right away and that accepts my insurance, then I go. Pdocs are just med dispensers anyways.
