Switching doctors

Hello everyone,

I lost my job this week and with it, my insurance.  I am okay through the end of the month but when I get a new job and my insurance changes, how do I change surgeons?  They follow every three months at this point and I can't afford to pay out of pocket.  Has anyone else faced this?

How do you change surgeons?  Just like you'd change PCPs or dentists.  You find out what surgeons are covered by your new insurance plan, then call them up and see if they are taking new patients.

Yeah, I changed surgeons when the guy that did my surgery closed his practice.  I just made a couple phone calls and found one that was taking new patients and took my insurance, then made an appointment to see if I liked her.

You could also stay with your current insurance through COBRA if you want to. Just a thought. Good luck!
