So I called to make an appoinment with him. It turns out that he is out of network with my insurance but I tell them I don't care at this point because I need some relief and I will worry about it later. Turns out it cost me $165 Wednesday, $60 yesteday and it will be another 60 late this afternoon. Now this can get expensive. So in talking to him yesterday, he said some insurances will accept them if you request it. So I call my insurance and ask them how to do it. They tell me, my primary care physican (which is the one I go to for my HBP)has to sumbmit a form for them to accept. So I call him this morning and the lady tells me he does not do this, that he would refer me to therapy. I tell her therapy is not what I need. So guess what the fuck I am going to do. I am going to switch primary doctors. I feel he has no right in denying me who I want to see. So now I'm stuck. Either keep paying, which I can't afford to do or not get the treatment I need. I'm fired up!
