And not mine, but my dh's. Specifically, I'm referring to the way his employer changes health insurance carriers every 1-1.5 years. No big deal as far as all our regular docs go, because they're all covered under either of the two carriers we seem to flip-flop between. But both plans use different companies to administer their mental health benefits. So, after finding a pdoc I really like, I'll have to change again. The funny thing is that I'll now be able to go back to the doc I had for several years, whom I just loved. I never wanted to leave her practice in the first place! And now I suppose I can just go back between these two docs depending upon which insurance carrier hubby's employer chooses to go with.

The doc I'll probably end up going back to is the first one who ever mentioned the possibility of bipolar disorder to me, though very casually, and she did not diagnose me or ever treat me for bipolar. At least if I have to change docs again, it'll be nice to go back to someone I like, already know and have pre-existing rapport with.

Kristen,

Well that's a bad thing...well no it's a good thing(LOL)...either way I'm sorry you have to change but am glad you get to change to a good pdoc.

Love,
