Thinks s/he gets paid by the post
A few random facts, preceded by a simple question:
Question, what is a reasonable amount of time to see a new doctor in a new city after moving?
I moved started a new job 130 miles away Feb 22
My house is set to close April 29 in old location
My brother died of colon cancer in 2012. I was checked in 2011 (I was 38 at the time) and need to be checked again, as I am 2-3 years overdue, and I am having some complications similar to his when he was diagnosed.
Most medical practices in my new city are not taking new patients
the one I found which did said first appointment available is in 3 weeks. I happen to be out of country working then
the next one was 4 weeks later.
Even after I see the new primary care which can issue the pre-authorization for the colon cancer screening, it will take me a while to get in and see the specialist.
HMMM
How much of this is ACA
How much of this is "normal"
suggestions?
