Insurance Plans Limitations

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/07/26/obamacare-health-plan-limits-insurers/13172133/

If you recently changed insurance plans, it would be wise to look at your policy limitations. You could be surprised to find out what used to be covered is no longer . From this article I think one can write a letter to legislators if needed about the possibility of having more primary care doctors so patients can be seen within 10 days after their discharge. Proper hand off is so important in achieving positive outcome for our patients.
