This year has been the first year I’ve had health insurance and I have really struggled with everything since I’ve begun to use it and to catch up with 30-something years of deferred care.
One thing I did not see mentioned above yet is the actual practice/titles for specialists.
Since we have to do so much self advocacy, it’s helpful to know that a Gastroenterologist is for your stomach & digestive system, an Endocrinologist is for hormonal issues/topics, Rheumatology is for joints, tissues, etc and so on…
I know this sounds very elementary, but I’ve had to Google lists multiple times to find who I might be hoping to get a referral to.
Thanks for working on an important thing like this
