You're lucky. Two years ago my wife was having trouble breathing and we tried to get her in to see her Primary Care Manager (PCM). The appointment desk said, "there are no appointments available. Call back next month." We tried to get in to see a doctor downtown, but he refused to see her without a referral. We tried going through the Emergency room to get a referral and they wouldn't give us one unless we cleared it through the PCM. This went on for three months before she went in on one of my appointments.
Socialized medicine sucks. I can't change my PCM because the base has to approve it and they won't. I can't get in to see the doctor because there's no appointments available.
Start contacting your US Senators and Rep. Also add Reps. Buyers and McKeon to your contacting list. I had to sic Sen Bob Corker on TFL to get my Synthroid covered. Side effects from the generic are horrible. But name brand works, and works better than generic. Endocrinologist WON’T prescribe generic for hypo-throidism, because it is hit and miss in effectiveness. Thyroid controls a lot of your endoctrine system.
