QUOTE=AlwaysChanging2;4755175]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.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.[/quote] .

But You deserve so much more..
Psychiatrist do/should do more than dispense pills.

Therapy with a Psychologist & your Psychiatrist should work together. There are some Psychiatrists that do both just ask.
And ask for referral to see physiologist.

Dear AlwaysChanging2,

You got really lucky/ or someone above is on Your side for sure/ Good Karma! Below is my advice.

Congratulations, the courage YOU took making that phone call standing up for Yourself after a terrible experience.

" This lasted a few years until Obamacare forced us to have insurance which was a HMO ,so I got referred

( Now you can have more coverage than before. )

However I would apply for Obama Care HMO because it will give you so much more in health benefits physical /mentally and in other areas such as housing if you rent they will pay for part of. Help with utilities Universal Service Fund, and because of your low income & your health, you qualify for transportation. NO fee ride to doctors..physical rehabilitation, your medical place pharmacy and back home. In my state its called logistics maybe under a different name in your state. If you have a car & drive they will help with your insurance, I have it and its very good coverage. If you have a home there is help. just ask me. There are benefits for you! Which will reduce some of the anxiety and stress.
You will start to feel better.
If you picked your your health package from Obama care, you can always change it. The affordable care act is termed Obama care. Your HMO is your package.
Just make sure your doctor takes it, that's what I did.
