I'm 8 weeks from mva and had follow up with family doctor today. Because of ongoing PCS resulting in inability to return to work he wants me to see a neurologist. Family doctor is not comfortable keeping me off work this long. His first choice is unable to see me before my next appointment in three weeks. His second choice wants money upfront from me and then will reimburse me if and when insurance pays. (I don't know why they can't get it preauthorized. I may not have enough money to pay out of pocket.)

Is there any kind of designation I need to look for when considering a neurologist? Are there any questions I should ask as I decide who to see?
