I am WC from RI.

I have a wonderful PCP who doesn't take care of WC. He only writes my pain meds.

I had a dork of a PM doc who screwed me up and then quit my case. He wrote all my other meds (Topamax, Lidoderm, Voltaren, Soma, Catapres and Cymbalta)

I have a great team of docs in Boston who do my nerve blocks. But they don't do WC stuff, and were really upfront about that when I first went there. Tomorrow will likely be the last time I see them (I get my 6th block)

I was supposed to have clearance to go to Mass General by WC. But they will only pay the RI fee schedule. And Mass General wants more money than that. And they won't negotiate. So no go.

At the moment I am in the position of having NO doctor for WC. Even though I have private insurance, it's still hard to find anyone willing to take me. When my scripts expire I'm fairly certain that my PCP will help me with renewals. But it shouldn't be so hard for WC VICTIMS to get doctors. Most of my problem lies the insurance company - when hospitals hear the name "The Hartford" they know that it they are the very worst to deal with and they just don't want the hassle. How is it that they get away with this?

My attorney has a list of doctors in RI that the Hartford works with, and is going to send it to me. Joy, joy. Like any doctor on their list would be ethical.

Sorry for the rant...my answer is at the moment I really don't have a doctor for my RSD.
