My psychologist and my psychiatrist share an office
suite. They are the only practitioners in this office.They have seperate practices. Billings are separate.
I see the psychologist once a week, the psychiatrist
once a month.What irritates me is that they never seem to consult
with one another about me, their common patient. I don't
think it is a question of legalities or a patient's rights
to privacy. Even if that was the case, I have responded
to questions from each of them with "that's in my file."
I would also gladly sign a consent of release of information
limited to them.I think my time, effort, and money could be better utilized
if they would sit down together maybe once a week and
review their common patients' status. Are they too
greedy to sacrifice a billable hour or two a week?Am I asking too much?
