14 miles is not too far to travel to the doctor. There is much more wrong with Obamacare than this example.
Same thought,
I think you better read that again...the point was that it was bogus (NYC to Stamford, CT is much more than 14 miles).
Although it appears it is actually just an hour away...two hours round trip...so compared to some other Obamacare horror stories, she’s lucky. Still, in NYC there must be countless ortho doctors but none under the Obamacare plan.
Yeah, the examples they used were bogus. They also mentioned that an in-network physical therapist wasn’t covered but maybe the doctor didn’t think she needed PT...they didn’t explain why it wasn’t covered.
Provider directories have been FUBARed for many years. I’ve always had to call the MD to see if they participate with my plan because the directories are always wrong.
I looked into Medishare as an alternative but there aren’t any providers within 100 miles of me.
