[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's been a long time since I went into an office at my last gyno appt we could only discuss one thing like BCP or cramps not both. Insane. They said it was because of billing issues and for each thing I have to come back. Anyway like if you go to a foot doctor for pain, a wart, or a ingrown toe nail do you need 3 appointments? Dermo? A cyst and acne are those two appointments? Primary care IBS and sleep issues two appointments? How are things being handled these days. I need to catch up on things but if I'm going to nee that many appointments I think I'm good. Thank you.[/quote]

This is 100% insurance driven and you should ask what your insurance will cover. Plus there is not enough time in these appts where your insurance pays the MD $50 to cover 5 issues in 15 min.  But in an annual the Doctor can’t screen for health issues to prevent problems and treat at the same time....won’t get paid for by your insurance and not humanly possible for MD with time constraints.

I spend 90 with my new patients for annuals and I still don’t have time to address their multiple chronic issues or concerns. We need another visit for those[/quote]
