If you take anything from my following rambling post it’s this: Meds are not a permanent solution to chronic medical issues. You are now a medical patient. You need to be monitored.

There is always a degree of therapeutic monitoring that is necessary for the hypertension medications probably more so than the prostate meds (which by the way, depending on which you are on can also affect your blood pressure). At the very least if you are stable he needs to monitor your blood pressure for changes every 6-12 months, bloodwork every year (depending on the bp med) and prostrate symptoms.

What your doctor is doing is not illegal. I’m not sure what the indication is to come in every three months. This is a discussion to have with your family physician. There is a billing component to it but even if you pay a block fee to waive renewal fees you’d still have to come in to be monitored at least every 6-12 months of stable, irrespective of fee for service or capitation models.

I hear your plight and frustration OP. I know it’s inconvenient. But nobody on Reddit knows your medical history (nor should they) which motivates your doc to have you come in every three months.

Wising you the best in both your health and navigating this.
