I hear that.
Several months ago I needed to get a prescription refilled. I contacted my doctor and was told the doctor I normally see is no longer there. I knew this, but was told any other doc there could see me. I was told since it was a new doctor that I couldn't get a refill without seeing them and the earliest appointment was 10 days away. That wasn't going to work, I only had a couple of days worth of medicine. they won't call in a refill even if I make an appointment. So I end up going to a different doctor just to get a refill prescription just to hold me over until I can get in to the other place.
The visit with this new doctor literally was about 5 minutes. I explained what I needed. She listened to my lungs, wrote me a prescription and I was out the door. It cost me $150 for that 5 minutes. Pretty crazy.
