Never personally used - but - heard that a website called drsays can do that - believe it cost around $35.

I don't know where the OP lives, but maybe she should come rent for a month and spend her time visiting doctor offices to find out if they take cash patients. She obviously has a strong anti-insurance opinion, so she doesn't need or want insurance information. She says she has funds and can afford future treatment (that's debatable, but moot at this point.) If she wants to take her chances on her health future and chooses to pay until she's broke, that's her choice. Maybe her doctor was mad because she wanted to go out of the country for the medications. She apparently didn't follow-up on the reason and assumes it was "kickback". Only "kickback" I've ever seen is free lunch for office staff once in a while from a drug rep and I don't know that those are even done any longer. I would think that an urgent-care facility would not prescribe a yearly refill, but I've never gone to one for that. Personally, I guess I'd prefer to come to The Villages and enjoy retirement instead of wondering where to get health care. But in the interest of being sure, she can research by calling/visiting offices and do it before she moves permanently. Her choices in health care and insurance have nothing to do with whether she can afford to live in The Villages--that would be another whole topic. I'd get a refill before I moved and then I'd have a year to look into it. Worse case scenario is she has to go back to her current place once a year and get the prescription refilled.

Also, why should my finances be tied to others? Cause someone wants to sit on the couch munching doritos all day shouldnt mean I have to pay.

Had I decided "it was my time" and passed on the surgery, I would probably be dead now (and it wouldn't have been an easy death!) To each her own, I guess ... kathy |

Let's stay on topic about finding cash pay doctors. Arguing about "kickbacks" is detracting from the thread.
