Reading about your experience pains me. It's becoming a common thing too. If we don't demand that treating physicians are to decide primary care for patients and also determine the necessary treatment protocols for that patient (rather than a doctor employed by an insurer that you never see) I think this problem only gets worse; akin to a business model for providers

@truthseekr7771 in my case it was the provider. Not the insurance. My neurologist could have taken 10 minutes to review my case since I had been waiting a week. He said he was going to suddenly cut off the clonazepam he was prescribing me instead of increasing it when I’m in the middle of an intensive flare of symptoms, which is a breach of duty of care and I’m willing to take this case to the cleaners if I need to because I’m sick of paying for care I’m not receiving.
