Yeah tell me about it. Took me 3mos to find this one as we're new to the area and "The Dr is not taking new patients at this time" is what I heard over and over again. I was just trying to have continuation of care and its damn near impossible

Exactly. Thats why I think they should at least make a note under the BMI that states that its an inaccurate measure due to being athletic or what-have-you. God forbid I get hurt or have to stop training/dieting and I gain some fat, they'd see my chart history saying "obese" for the past 10yrs or so and be on the phone w Dr.Now from My 600lb Life lol.

Doesnt help that Im 52 either,I get the phone calls from Cigna saying,"at your age obesity is a major concern.

Heres a pic of one of my charts so y'all know I'm not BS'ing
Ignore the blood pressure,I get extremely anxious at the Dr's
