Given your particular medical history, preexisting conditions, including past GPs and specialists which your current insurance company may know nothing about, you may already know who you need to see. Re-convincing an insurer can be a waste of everyone's time, and can in some cases create greater net expense and delayed care. And GPs and other medical professionals have complained to me in the past that some test is not actually necessary, that they are confident in a diagnosis, but some additional test is necessary purely to convince the insurance company that they do in fact know what they know. I value diagnosis by the appropriate trusted medical professional. I do not value the opinion of my insurance company.
