Local Health System / Network

ALRATIBA — Wed, 22 Jul 2020 22:36:15 GMT

Just curious - do you have healthcare networks? There are several in NYC and all but one of my docs belong to the same system. It's convenient - files and test results, etc. are shared.

Anyway - I'm with the Mount Sinai Health System - and they have done a really great job with regular email updates on the progress of the virus, testing, etc., etc.

I don't have to rely on MSM for what's happening.

I live in the PNW and almost every hospital up here has its own system but thankfully my insurance does not limit me to staying in that system.

@DiAnne Me too. We have many HMOs but I can go to any doctor or specialist who is taking patients, without a referral.

Thank heaven my dentist hasn't joined one of those "corporate practices".....
