This is why I am glad that I have a good doctor. He doesnt write Subutex BUT he is now allowing me to come every other month which cuts my costs by QUITE A CHUNK. These services are never going to free, people who have cancer dont get free treatment or aids or diabetics whatever the case may be….. They ALL have to pay for their treatment, whether its through insurance and co pays or out of pocket. My father didnt take a cancer policy through work and he gets cancer because of his work and still had to pay around 20 percent of the costs. Ok, that sounds like a small amount but when he shows me one of his doctor bills and his portion is around 14,000…..that is still huge for 20 percent…But what do you do? Do you pay and live? Do you refuse and die? You make the choice whether you pay for this treatment or not, yes we all wish that it was cheaper. We all want it to be under a 100 for the visit (for those out of pocket people like myself) and the medicine on the 4 dollar list…but until it is more understood like other illnesses and diseases, we can want in one hand and shit in the other to see which fills up first….Right now I am happy that I am paying 300 every other month which averages to 150 a month for the visits with the nicest staff that you will ever meet in your life. They all know me as the wiild hair colored girl and if I walked in there with blonde hair, they would probably think that I was sick. I pay around 150 a month for the medicine, depending on how much I take. I do hang around 8mg a day which is plenty for me, somedays I might forget to take a 2mg piece and only get 6mg. Some days and I am sure that we have ALL had these, when you forgot how much you took and take a extra 2mg piece. I have the memory of an old woman, I can barely remember to breathe these days LOL.
I am just happy that I have a good doctor and the staff all is nice, dont matter if I need to reschedule there are no outrageous fees. He has explained to me that I have a life and there is no reasoning behind charging me through the nose for a missed appointment. I absolutely hate the drive to my doctors office because it is a hour away, but for the treatment that I receive and the fact that he is a no bullshit doctor I love the place. If you are having a earache, he will check to see if its irritated and if you need antibiotics he will write them so I dont have to pay two doctors. There is a doctor in my town which is five minutes away and accepts insurance, BUT there is a year waiting list and from what I hear he is like my first doctor a revolving door handing out prescriptions. I like that I have someone that I can speak to about what is going on, gives me goals to set and reach. I wish that the ones who have terrible doctors could go to mine, i was there once and had a awful place to go to, I know how it feels. I came crying out of my old office every month, they always made me feel like I wasnt worth a dime.
If there are any KY people out there needing a doctor, call Dr Tran in lexington Ky. You will not be dissapointed.
