If a specialist at a private clinic tells me I need to start taking certain medications, can I just ask them to write out a prescription so I can head straight to the pharmacy and pay for it myself?

thanks

Hey there,

I don't have supplemental insurance, so I might find myself needing to hit up the ER every once in a while.
What does the damage usually look like—is there a standard fee just for walking through the door, or does it all depend on which tests they run on you?

Thanks, that’s exactly what I was wondering.

Hey there

I was wondering about something—if I go in for an exam at a private clinic... and after the checkup, the doctor tells me I need a specific medication

do I have to head back to my primary care physician to get a prescription, or can the specialist at the clinic just write it out right then and there so I can pick it up at the pharmacy?

Can you make sense of this? I’m trying to figure out if there’s any actual logic behind what Charles Ortiz3 is saying here.

Hi there,

I need to schedule an initial consultation with a urologist.
Does anyone know what the wait times are looking like in NYC? Looking at these waiting lists, it seems like it could be at least two months—though I might be reading them wrong.
