Has anyone ever heard of needing permission from your current primary dr to transfer to a different primary?
I've been looking for a new primary and this week I finally found one who is accepting new patients and is closer to my home by 15 minutes. I was told by the hospital network that they have to contact my primary and get their permission for me to transfer to a new clinic. WTH?
I've never heard of such a thing. 😕
@see_the_sus Maybe they don't mean "permission", maybe they mean "confirmation"?

The gal I spoke with said they have to ask the doctor's(clinic's) permission to allow the transfer, 🤷
She said to allow at least 48 hours for them to respond, so I'm going to call tomorrow because I called late in the day on Monday,
