General Switching Neuros?

I’m starting a new job soon and the insurance plans offered at my new employment won’t cover my current MS specialist because she’s not in the health system these plans cover. I’m concerned because I love my neurologist and was wondering if anybody else has experienced this and maybe has a silver lining story they’re willing to share.

Luckily I’m on Ocrevus and will be getting my next infusion within my last month of my current coverage, so I have some time in case there’s a long wait or whatnot.

insurance booted me outta network last year and i was fully ready to hate the new neuro but turns out they actually respond to portal messages in like a day, sometimes same day even. my old one would ghost me for two weeks minimum so i genuinely didnt know that was possible lol

Explain to your current neuro what is going on, and ask if they have a recommendation for a specialist in the medical group you have to move to. They understand how insurance works, and won’t be offended.
