After leaving my previous employer
, I have moved and am in the midst of finding a doctor. I had my final physical in November and everything was fine and I started back "on" in Dec.
My wife went to the doc today and met with a lady who she really liked and thought I should meet to be "our" doctor. No problem except Ive never had to tell a doc that I was using (Im relatively new to this anyway). I would like to get a check-up/physical here soon to ensure everything is still good and in working order, but Im not sure how to approach the subject with this new doc. I guess if she had a problem with it I could go somewhere else, eh?
If I tell her about it, can she tell anyone else, ie. insurance, etc? Is there really doctor/patient confidentiality or is there some grand loophole as with everything else? Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks...
