I see a pdoc at a university because I don't have a lot of money etc. I talked to her today about my copay and how hard it is to pay etc. She said not to worry about it because she is going to make me a "long term patient" so I wont have one. What does that mean?

I would assume that means you have been diagnosed with an illness that requires long term care, which you have if you have received a bipolar dx. It's not like it's grief counseling or an adjustment problem or something that will resolve in a relatively short amount of time. I guess that's why she is making you a long term patient. I suppose it depends on the practice for what that means.

Sounds like you wont have to pay each visit. I wouldnt be too worried about being labled " long term patient" Sounds like she is just finding you a way to keep being seen .

My thing is....the Medicaid I have covers the copay. What I actually pay is toward my medical bill to their hospital from where I od'd last year. So does that mean it will help with that? I don't know.
