It takes weeks to get an appointment with a specialist, who only orders tests. Then, there will be a miscommunication between the specialistâs office and your insurance company, which will delay the test. That test will not show the cause of your illness, so you will need a referral to a more âspecialâ specialist, which takes more than a week because it requires another appointment with the General Practitioner who wasnât able to help you in the first place. After that successful referral, you will find that the specialist canât see you for four months. In the meanwhile, you canât work, have exhausted your leave, canât retire without losing your health insurance and generally become desperate. Just guessing, of course, not speaking from personal experience. /S (All this, even though you have the best insurance money can buy and work for a company that reimburses for deductible costs.)

Usually the doc doesnât disclose his fees while suggesting tests and treatments â he just sends you a bill laterâŠ
