Process for contacting out of state Dr. (Dr Natale)
March 31, 2018 07:31AM
As I lay here in affib almost 3 months post ablation I am starting to conside possible options.
I have been in affib now since Tuesday and contiung to take the flecanide and metroprolal. I also started back on the elequis.
I am curious as to the process of seeing a doctor in another state as I live north of Pittsburgh PA. I know Dr Natale used to work at Cleveland clinic but I read that he no longer does.
I'm pretty sure insurance won't be an issue as my insurance is actually based out of Texas.
Any thoughts are greatly appreciate.

Check your insurance plan contract to see if you are limited to a specific area or if you are covered anywhere in the US.
Plans vary. If you are unable to find that in the contract you hold, then contact the member services dept of your insurance company to review your plan.
