Good to know. I just had hip surgery. My insurance plan had papers to sign immediately for home health and rehab. First at home then at the local clinic. I was surprised how organized it was. Then for my 12 weeks surgeon visit I made an appointment but the clinic appointment desk called right back to reset as the original date would have taken me out of the insurance plan timing. I appreciated that diligence. My recent experience was very good with this broken bone situation but I have fired a few docs that tried to give me statins, or other meds without really talking to me about it or nutritional “advice” that was laughable. One doc scared me so much about my BP (white coat hypertension--which to her meant raising my meds several times) that for several years I wasn’t able to get an accurate reading even at home I was so stressed about it. I then found a functional medicine doc who brought me down in stress Hence my ability to get accurate readings. Mostly I treat myself and stay out of conventional docs offices. But we must be advocates for our own health.
