Cash only docs get paid more, and they can do this because they are good enough at it they have people willing to pay. My last doc, who is not my doc anymore because he went to being a cash only doc. He was a good doc but I knew enough about psychiatry to be willing to work with a new doc, who takes insurance. I've been with her for about 7 years and she is pretty good. But you get the best service from health professionals if you do some of the work yourself. As I've learn over the years, working with pdocs, gpdoc, and dentists. They don't know you better than you and 2 heads are better than one. I will say one thing about my new doc she was willing to rx perphenazine where the cash doc said that was digging deep. So there are good none cash docs. You just need to do research on them and find a good one. When I was looking for a new doc I went on my health insurance website and did a search for a new doc. I looked at what there specialtys were. Like PTSD, schzophrenia, depression, etc.
Your not going to get good service if you expect the doc to do all the work. Doesn't matter how good they are. They also need to know what you want and how to help you.
If your doc sucks so much and is not willing to work with you. I guess you should look for a better one. But not sure paying out of pocket is going to help a whole lot. Find some one you waht to work with. Get an apointment and interview them. Put everything on the table. tell them what you need and find out if they will work for you. If not try anouther one.
