I've struggled for the last year to get medical care in the state. I had to go to Texas for a colonoscopy/polyp removal last year, as well as a gastric emptying study.
If I had waited around here in Albuquerque, it would have taken months to even get a PCP appointment to get the referral, and as long or longer to get the specialist appointment.
That's just for specialist care. There are still tests that I need, but my PCP here disappeared- literally vanished to specialize in another state without warning, in the middle of figuring out what was wrong with me. Finding a replacement has been miserable- I can't keep going to Texas, it's untenable. But I don't want to move from New Mexico either.
So, where do you folks go where you don't have to wait? Is Denver viable? How does your insurance work across states (I do not have a PPO)? Can you recommend a PCP taking new patients?
