I wish all the doctors would spend a minimum of two hours here reading all the messages. Wouldn’t that be nice?

But really, if only all the other doctors were like mine. He and his wife (only two there) are in it for the patient. He takes insurance and accepts their measly payment as paid in full, along with my co-pay.

We are moving in a few days and I had to find another Suboxone doctor in Nevada. The search did not go well for two weeks. Had to contact BC/BS and have them call some doctors to explain that they must accept the insurance. (they don’t)

Had to cross reference the PPO providers with the Suboxone providers and start calling. Finally found one today that appears to be just mine here. I did some research and someone posted that he saved his life because of the Sub, and that he takes insurance.

There are fewer and fewer doctors now that will take insurance payment at all for this treatment. It just doesn’t pay enough if the doctor spends the time with you like they are supposed to.

So I say "Thank God" that I was not only able to find one good doctor, but two!

And even my good doctor would benefit from reading this site. He knows a lot, but we know so much more.

Great subject.
