I didn't have my records transferred. My GI doc had no idea I was going to go to his previous associate. I just brought the records with me. He only scanned through them yesterday for the first time.

I have the test results already, but the reports always include the name of the doctor who prescribed the tests on them.

Since my current doc has only done the endoscopy, the antibody test and the gallbladder test, I had to drive up 1 1/2 hours north to go see my former internist to get the delayed gastric emptying test. That's why this doctor yesterday thinks I'm "doctor hopping".

Unfortunately, my new insurance is very bad and the only doctors in network are either in my current doc's practice, or in the practice across the room from him (a total of 8 of them). That only leaves 3 left within driving distance. And I really don't think I can afford to go out of network. The deductible shoots up from 350 to 750 and the percent they cover is greatly reduced....I don't see any options here.
