My pdoc is not in network with my insurance so I pay cash. It is a necessary expense in my book. I’ve been with him between 15-17 years now and he has saved my life many times. My appointments with him always last between 35-45 minutes and he is like a pdoc and tdoc rolled up into one.

I called his office to see if any of the therapists accepted my insurance so I could learn how to better help my daughter and not only are none of them in network but my insurance said I’m not allowed to self pay my pdoc. I just lost my pdoc! I’m beside myself right now and really hating on insurance.

Temporarily I can see the NP that he supervises until I can change my insurance to one that he accepts next year. I’m just so upset right now. This is not the time for this to be happening...he was keeping a close eye on me after last month’s mistake and with losing my friend. I’ll calm down. It’s just fresh right now. He’s not just my pdoc. He’s my friend.

Warm wishes to all.
