I’m not sure exactly what you mean but I would attribute it to four main reasons:
I’m rural and the quality of physicians here leaves a bit to be desired
Physicians are overworked and as a result, generally uncaring and unable to provide substantial help.
It takes months to get the ball rolling on every step of the process
Insurance is hellbent on denying everything
My situation didn’t improve until I was finally referred to a couple physicians in the right specialty who truly care and were willing to fight my insurance.
If the insurance corporation wants to fight about it, i would recommend forgoing letters and requests and go directly to their headquarters for the physical altercation they desire.
I moved to a rural location and your four points are exactly how it is. I have to harass my doctor to get them to put in referrals.
My wife had to go and physically walk a referral from the doctor to the hopsital across the parking lot to make sure they actually got it. Then stayed and scheduled it right then b/c getting a callback for scheduling is a crapshoot.
That’s exactly what I meant, the biggest problem in the medical field is the doctors themselves, they’re basically useless at this point. You could replace them with a potato and give you the same first three points of your list, but for cheaper.

Will the potato prescribe opiates to me? Massive improvement if so.
Why wouldn’t it? Doctors operate pill mills and have the ethics of your local gang member.
Which type of potato do you prefer? Yukon Gold? Russet? Those little round hard ones everyone likes except me?
