[QUOTE="FreeRangeYeti, post: 62275, member: 14864"] My experience so far has been limited to doctors within my HMO. I pay upwards of $600/month for medical insurance for my kids and I, and with other costs, fitting in out of pocket (telemedicine) on top that is regular and recurring as a cost is extremely difficult. That said, I have had no success working inside my insurance. The response has been either apathy and outright negativity at the worst case or a desire to help without any knowledge or ability to do so at the best. I have had to literally sit down and make the doctors order the tests so that I can try to understand what is going on. My urologist and PCP have less knowledge than I do, and I admit I am pretty limited in terms of understanding how this all works. I have been completely unable to find anyone inside my HMO that will work with me. I've made appointments and had them cancelled by 4 endocrinologists in my area because my labs are not outside the 3 sigma deviations of the test population, so they won't even see me and discuss symptoms. My next step is to meet with one of my urologists' partners on 3/1, and failing a positive outcome from that, telemedicine through Defy since the Primebody location near me has had mixed reviews.
