hospitals you can use because they are not in the system. UPMC is a great hospital, We can't use it because we have BCBS,

Call them back and ask to be put on the cancellation waiting list (if someone cancels their appt. you could get in earlier).

I had a neuro for years because of the MS.
He's retired now, but I've been in full remission forever, so I just have a standing referral.
My neuro retired before I did, and I'm retired 6 years.
They are, in fact, tough to get in to see us.
