Stewie,
I think ggg means that he wouldn't be able to have his psychiatrist treat him while in hospital, not that he wouldn't be able to see his psychiatrist afterwards.
ggg,
Am I right in thinking that you have private health insurance but your plan doesn't cover psychiatric care? If that's the case:
- you could see of your doctor is attached to any public hospitals. As a private patient in a public hospital you would have the right to choose your own doctor.
- if you were to add psychiatric treatment to your plan, by law the maximum waiting period you would have to serve is 2 months, regardless of whether it is a pre-existing condition. This doesn't help you in the immediate term, but it's something to think about for the future if you can afford it. (I'd personally make it a priority).Ring the bells that still can ring
forget your perfect offering
