My psychiatrist of since '98, just threw my insurance company out of network. Which means, $600 deductible and after that I pay $20 copay and 30%. Vs. $20 a visit, no deductible. I think he is trying to get rid of me. Call me crazy witch I am but. 2 years ago I beged to go back on the zyprexa after a horrible withdraw. He looked upset after that apointment, when I looked back at him down the hall confiding with anouther doctor. My anger has been escalating in our talks, and he had no answers for me, so I started smoking pot, which dampened my anger, but he got mad about it. 1 month later I got a letter from insurance that they no longer take my insurance. I receptionists excuse is, that my insurance is hard to deal with making claims. She didn't have time to deal with my insurance. New receptionist just hired last week, so now they have 2, but guess what, now they won't give the deal they were offering earlyer. Which was $75 dollars the first 3-4 and $30 after. Now the only thing they are offering is they take the amount not paid off, leaving the $70 I would pay, basicly what I said in the beginning.
What do I do? Trust anouther doctor or only go 4 times a year?

Can't hurt to shop around...
I don't know how much people 'typically' pay.
But unless he is terrific, is he worth it???

I don't know if he is terrific or not. We know each other well. 7 years or so. Have not had any other pdoc since then.

Hmm. Can you go see someone else maybe once and see how it goes.
It is hard to know...
Better the devil you know and all that...
But without being able to see what other people can be like it is hard to know whether you would be best to persevere, or whether a change is in order...
