Another problem with going to a new provider with no records isvthe new psychiatric patient database that will list your diagnosis and meds and previous treatment that is confidential among P doc, registering patients on the system from what i understand is once and forever accessible kind of like the system states gave that track patients who utilize benzo or opiate meds who prescribes them last datebof fill etc , to prevent "doctor shopping" this new database is national , you cant hide from it , without complete false identification and insurance cards for each provider encounter. This database and its use earns doctors bonuses for use and easier paperwork compliance .
