You know I never thought of his insurance just my own. I do nto have to have referrals for anything! Maybe since I was refered to is more so why they say this as apposed to me goign to him from the begining. I have an appointment with my OB on April 2nd if I get to see him. My DH is goign with me to this time so I don't end up in tears again. I think he will transfere me no problem but then I will have that weird relationship goign on if a problem does accor and I ahve to go to the closer hospital. Just no fair that they don't have good care here! I thought I had found a dr before I got pregnant but then ran into problems with her offfice as well and changed at 5 weeks along. I will just ahve to keep a positive thought on it till it is over!
Well a High Risk OB is generally considered a specialist, and just like any other specialist, he'll require a referral...you've already had your initial referral to be transferred to his care, but if your OB wants him to take over your care completely he'll probably have to write something like "referral to -high risk OB- for the rest of the pregnancy for full prenatal care" because of how the high risk OB's insurance works...most specialists have insurance that requires specific referrals for care. You may simply have to bite the bullet and go to your regular OB and tell him you want to change, because the specialist insurance is usually pretty specific...you have the right to see who you want, but a specialist is a bit different. Good luck I really hope you get to see him it sounds like he would be waaaay better for you.
