I got a letter today informing me that my primary care doctor is leaving the HMO in May, and I am being assigned a new doctor - or can pick one from the directory of participating doctors if I prefer. That is traumatic, as I have been with the same doctor for 26 years.
I am nearly out of blood pressure pills so I called his office to get an appointment. I mentioned to the receptionist that I had gotten that letter and she said, "No, he's not leaving, but bring that letter along when you come for your appointment." So I don't know what the deal is. In the meantime he is out of town, so she told me to have the pharmacy call them for approval for some more pills. I did and was able to pick them up later this afternoon. The funny thing is that Sis had gotten much the same kind of letter from the HMO about her doctor and pretty much the same response when she called her doctor's office. Weird!
