The sheer absurdity of the New world of medicine

Joan:
Your primary care provider is not denying your medication for high blood pressure. The provider is requiring that you schedule an in-person visit before the prescription will be renewed.

When did you last see your primary care provider?

Most physician offices require an in-person office visit at least once a year to maintain a provider/patient relationship.

If you have active asthma, respiratory problems, and problematic high-blood pressure, seeing your primary care physician for periodic wellness visits seems a reasonable request.

I hear you that you have had less then compassionate medical care. There is no excuse for that.

It is three months and I want a script for mammography, plus should see an orthopedic.

Just am tired of it all.

Dang Vickie.The way they treated you is reprehensible.Blackmail.

What happened to the Oath they take.I guess they threw it out the window.

I don't know if things are different State to State.You're in Florida,I believe.I'm in Alabama.

But sometimes I read your Posts and some of the things you've gone through with Doctors and Pharmacies,it's like you're in another Country.

I have Medicare and Medicaid.I receive Extra Help and QMB.

I've never had to go to a certain Doctor.As far as I know my Referral to my PMD is good indefinitely.

I hope things are straightened out fairly for you and you get the treatment you deserve and aren't forced to take treatment you don't want or need.

Take care and God Bless.
