Asked and answered

I still can't quite comprehend why, throughout my long search for a new primary care physician, the conversation has gone like this, every single time:

me: Hi, are you accepting new patients?

office staff: What's your insurance?

me: Cigna PPO.

office staff: Yes. [click]


Really, I'm not taking a freakin' survey -- I'm trying to establish myself as a new patient! And yes, after having this experience once, or even twice, I should probably work on my opening, but yeesh.

In any case, I finally found someone, and I have an initial consultation on Friday, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that that will go better than the initial phone conversation. Yeesh.
