That's not what it's like around here..... Once more you ignore the point, which is that your data isn't worth anything because it doesn't differentiate between PCP's and other doctors. Rather than addressing the point, you grab onto some peripheral aspect of the example and change the subject. Whether or not you can get an appt with an ortho is noise wrt to the issue of the availability of PCP's to new Medicaid patients. BTW, I've never had any problem getting an ortho appt. I did sit in one's waiting room once and listen to one side of a phone conversation between the receptionist and a potential patient calling to get an appt. This was a good decade or two ago. When the receptionist found out that this was a Medicaid patient, the next appt was around six weeks away. I had just gotten mine a few days after my request. Doctors love federal Blue Cross.
