Do you have trouble finding specialists that take your insurance?
A friend has coverage through Covered California, California's version of the ACA health exchange. She needs surgery for Stage 1 cancer. There are only three OBGYNs in her community that accept her insurance but at least she had three options. Now she is trying to find a surgeon that takes her insurance. Her OBGYN warned her she would have to travel to a city 150 miles away to an area with a population of 1.5 million to find a surgeon that accepted her insurance. Guess what? So far, nobody takes her insurance. The odd part, EVERY hospital will accept her insurance.
She lives in a city with 91,000 people and a county with 171,000 residents. Not a huge community, but not small either.
