Lisa-

I’ve never experienced this. My input would also be they have no right to direct who your practitioner you see is.

Does your PPO have a patient advocate you can contact to assist you in this?

there does come a point where the stress caused by things like this make it easier to just go elsewhere if that is an option. No point in paying for that which you do not want.

Though when I’m feeling really strong I want to fight the system to get what I need/want.

I hope you are able to get resolution to get the best you can get.
