Anyway, I like him enough that I'm going to give up my Federal BCBS insurance and go with United just to stay his patient. Oh, and I believe he's accepting new patients too.
I also have a history of skin cancers. If you're really going to give up your FEP for this doctor, I'd check to make sure that you have access to a good dermatologist under the new plan. Skin cancers can get very complex or go undetected.

IMHO, you're making a critical decision giving up your FEP. I'd think long and hard about this. What if this doctor leaves?

Good luck.
