Cardiologist...
As part of my yearly physical I had an EKG a few months ago and everything checked out okay. I changed medical insurance provider 2 years ago and it's been more than 5 years since I've seen a cardiologist.They normally do a sonogram of the heart to check heart valve operation and deposits on the blood vessels. It's time... actually covid delayed many things, so I requested to see one.
Leaving my primary care physicians office, they printed out a list of cardiologists who accept my medical plan. It was a fat list... 12 pages. I thought: wow, Florida has a lot of elderly people and they probably need all those specialists.
When I got home and checked the listing, only 2 were within 50 miles of me. The list of cardiologists who accept my insurance was a national listing and only 2 were near me.
That didn't give me a 'warm fuzzy feeling' and will rethink who I select for an insurance provider.
