@krisingle1 Im not trying to be sarcastic but I coordinate my own care. I keep extensive documentation and call each provider as needed. From an Insurance point of view I ask every provider to send their notes to my PCP and they maintain the electronic file. I follow up with my PCP to make sure they get the notes as needed.

Hope this helps!

You really do have to advocate for yourself and make sure that all your docs knows what is going on with your care. It may take a few extra minutes, but takes notes with you to your visits if needed and hopefully, your PCP actually reads all the notes he or she gets from the other specialists!

Thanks so much for the response and advice. It does not seem sarcastic. I know I need to be my own advocate but wanted to be certain I wasn't stepping on anyone's toes.... You've merely confirmed what I had guessed!

Thanks again
