Answer #1

This is going to depend on the terms of your health insurance. I assume that your Primary Care Physician referred you to the specialist? If this is the case you could ask that your PCP refer you to a different one.

Answer #2

yeah my doc referred me. i asked her she said she’ll see if its a place out of their recommendation i will be billed cause it depends if the insurance approve?
