Reply to comment by South_Barnacle_9760 in Cardiologists not Affiliated with AHN or UPMC? by itsmanticore84

I'm trying to avoid dealing with the crappy scheduling, service, insurance, and billing experiences that both me and my SO have dealt with personally with both UPMC and AHN. Not political at all. In fact, it's exactly because I care about my heart health (and mental health) that I'm trying to avoid these two networks. But...thanks for the helpful..."advice"? 🙄

here’s some advice: share your parameters with your current healthcare provider and pcp. i’m sure you’ll find the answers you want that way instead of reddit. this is about your heart. best to you and yours.

Your might want to consider a cardiologist that is in the same network as your PCP then. Of course they will always sent the result to your pcp but it seamless is what your looking for...

Idk if this is a good idea just to avoid some headaches before and after your care. Ive worked across both networks and the big hospitals get all the patients the hospitals you mentioned cant handle or messed up. If you are going to end up needing a procedure i recommend going to a larger hospital.
