Go to a strip mall doctor and explain to the receptionist what you want, and that you will pay cash for the visit.

Then, pay cash at the pharmacy for your rx.

One of our younger relatives gets severe spring pollen allergies every May and his health plan will not cover this without a halfA$$ed physical, expensive, takes about half a day. He is very healthy and doesn’t need to pay hundreds of $’s of lab tests.

So, he has been seeing this mall doc for over 5 years. He pays cash and is in out of the office in about 5 minutes.

Then, find yourself a conservative MD and not a democrat first, Doc..

No ... you're locked in because you told your insurer he was your PCP .... guess what ?

Youu can change your PCP with a phone call.

Find a real doctor, ask if he will accept you as a patient and it's done.

My Medicare plan allows me to visit any doctor or hospital in the country that takes Medicare...which is 98% of doctors and hospitals.

But I guess it's possible that not all such plans are that flexible...you might want to check to make sure.

“””Wish I could. I am locked in because of my Medicare supplement.”””

It’s such a cheap drug you might want to consider just paying cash.

” I am locked in because of my Medicare supplement.”

unless you went with Medicare “(dis)Advantage” (which is a YUGE mistake), you’re not locked in to anything .. if you ARE in Medicare “(dis)Advantage”,you can dump it in a couple of months and sign up for regular Medicare and get an Plan F or G supplement and a Plan D for drugs ... cost more, but you get more ...
