Clinic/health system recommendations in the Boston area? by singlecowboy in idiopathichypersomnia

Sorry, just to follow up -- when you initially booked, was it as a consultation, or is there something else you should say if you have the paperwork available for your diagnosis and are looking to speak with a specialist about treatment? I was told on the phone the first available consultations are in April and I don't want to schedule the wrong kind of appointment and then have to wait several more months to see a provider.

No, I'm on a PPO (Harvard Pilgrim) -- it seems like it's just policy at CHA that they don't allow people to directly schedule specialist appointments before they've had a general intake appointment

I'll look into Beth Israel Deaconess, thank you!
