family doctor question? who do I go through?

Question

Okay, so I don't have a doctor, but I'm looking to find one. I know I have hearing loss because I've gone to the doctor before about it and I need to know, do I schedule an appointment though a family doctor first or can I go ahead and schedule an appointed with a ear, nose & throat doctor? I have to get a hearing aid, but I'm 22 and my moms done all the doctor stuff so I never had to deal with it so I'm a little confused on what to do first.

Answer

It depends on what type of insurance.  Some need a referral,  but some you can go directly to the specialist.

Answer

Check with your health insurance provider to see what doctors are in network. Those will be less expensive than seeing an out of network doctor. Then, what I do, is look at a number of factors like location, rating (if available), and sometimes what hospital they have admitting privileges at. Once you've selected a few who you think you might want to use, call their office and ask if they are taking new patients. It's not the most fun process, but necessary. Good luck!

It depends on your health insurance.
