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 I've only heard of that in reference to transferring all of your documentation file.

@Yarnchick

That could be what the woman meant. I'm going to call them tomorrow, I was told to wait at least 48 hrs for them to hear back form my doctor's office.
