Depends on whom you ask. The doctors claim they are not seeing new patients. Twice, they said this after telling me they would see me. Then, after one appointment, suddenly, they couldn't fit me in anymore. Others no longer accept my insurance. Several told me point blank that they would treat my thyroid but not my hormone needs as they do not believe in that condition.

Needless to say, I did not accept that.

I went through five doctors last year. I plan to discuss this with my health plan in great detail, and find out if they would cover blood work and scrips if *I* pay for the doctor myself.
