3 of 5 questions have a witness
What we know, and who says so
The 5 things people want to know before calling. If nobody has confirmed it, we say so.
Does that phone answer?
Nobody has tried it yet. If nobody answers, try the one MMM publishes: (787) 854-4796.
Does it take my plan?
Listed in these plans' directories. That is not the same as "they will take you": ask when you call.

Where is it?

Why "listed in the directory" is not "they take your plan"?
These blocks say what each plan printed in its directory, not whether they will take you. And a plan missing here does NOT mean the provider is out of that network: the federal-number cross-check identifies 33% of Plan Vital directory rows, 51% of Triple-S Advantage's and 52% of MMM's, so it almost always means that row could not be matched. Note the dates too: these directories are not published on the same day, so one may be more current than another. Before switching plans, confirm with the office.

Did you call? Be the witness
5 seconds. That way the next person does not start blind.
Did someone answer?
Are they taking new patients?
Which plans did they say they take?
Is this for your mom or dad?
Send it ready to go: name, specialty, phone, and the reminder to confirm the plan. One tap.
Before you call, have this ready
Two minutes of prep save you weeks of back and forth.
- ✓Have your plan card and ID at hand. The first thing they ask. If it is for a relative, also their date of birth and plan number.
- ✓Ask your primary doctor for the referral first. Many podiatra (pies)s will not book you without one. Request it by phone, do not wait for your next visit.
- ✓Ask these two questions first. "Do you accept my plan?" and "Are you taking new patients?" That saves you the whole trip.
- ✓Ask how long the wait is, and to be put on the cancellation list. Someone cancels almost every week. Whoever is on the list gets that slot.
- ✓Write down who you spoke with and the date. If anything gets tangled later, that note untangles it.
