My concealer wants me to start journalism, because I had a bad anxiety attack this morning. Right now my cat Treelimb is sitting on my desk and is vastly disappointed that I'm spending any time paying attention to anything but him. Today and yesterday at work I set up my insurance benefits at Xerox. My new insurance coverage is going to be a high deductible plan so I plan to get around this by putting a **** ton of money into my HSA the difference between in network and out of network providers doesn't seam as drastic in an high deductible plan than it is in a normal plan but I did notice that they have a wicked high out of network deductible. I don't know how to look up doctors on the new plan because I don't know the technical name of the plan I just know that it's a high deductible plan offered by Aetna. My current counselor don't take insurance so I assume that means she would be out of network. At this point I kind of hate insurance companies. Well I hate health care in general since it often just seams like a money sink. What good is it to go back to my primary doctor to try to figure out my medical problems if she wasn't able to figure it out the first time around. Treelimb says he needs snuggles.

Well, go hug Treelimb and for what it's worth, be grateful you have insurance. I know it can be a big pain but I spent many years without it and it's such a great thing to have when you really need it.

Best way to find a Dr. covered by your medical plan is to call Aetna and ask. If you want to try another primary doctor ask them for doctor's name in your area. They will look it up by zip code. You can also explain your symptoms to a nurse at your insurance company (if they employ a nurse hotline) and they can recommend a specialist. I don't think you are forced to go back to the same primary who didn't help you the first time.

What is a "concealor"?

I assumed a 'concealor' was a typo for counselor.
