What does DD mean in this context?

Is DD an insurance? or Dear Daughter?

As in no more on support from any providers at foxhall if your due date is after Jan 20 (mine is after)

What?? Are they dropping obstetrics entirely and just doing GYN?

This is OP - I’m an OB patient and they sent an email to everyone today saying their practice is no longer providing OB services

Same boat here. Due March. I got a call from Dr. Green yesterday and the email today. This is more than a little annoying. Can’t have been news to them when they took me on a few months ago. I don’t have a clear explanation for why they can’t deliver their current patients. Seems switching providers in your second trimester means you go with whoever has room for you.

I assume it has to do with their medical liability insurance renewal date on why they can’t deliver current patients over the next year.

Probably because their malpractice insurance is way too high. They still when to pay it for 18 years or something crazy once they stop delivering so they are drawing a line in the sand. Blame crappy insurance for not covering r ought for doctors to keep their practice open.

People seem to love bloom.

I wonder if anyone will leave the practice, I imagine many obgyns become obgyns because they want to deliver babies.

Wow, I just got the letter. I loved my OB there and wanted to stick with her if we decided on a 2nd - I hope she moves to another practice.

My OB did this, thankfully after I had my last. She’s just a GYN now and I stayed with her.

Same situation here, also got the call from Dr. Green. Also annoyed. I also can't imagine how this is financially beneficial or even viable for them, especially for Dr. Green doing concierge/out of network-only. Do people really want concierge gynecology? Maybe I'm jumping to conclusions but is it possible that one of their doctors/their practice got sued, and this is part of the settlement?

I also *don't* want to get transferred to a Sibley practice, specifically. (I'd consider it, for the right OB.) I chose Foxhall *only* for Dr. Green, not for the Sibley affiliation. In fact, the Sibley c-section rate worried me a bit, but I was willing to do it since I trust Dr. Green completely.
