I have never made such a move, but here is what I would do at a minimum, having dealt with healthcare in the US a lot. I would make sure I qualify for health insurance through work immediatly on starting. If not, you may have to pay for a few months on a healtcare exchange plan, which will likely be expensive but provide bridge coverage. Get signed up immediately. Know whether or not you will need a refferal to visit a specialist. Bring copies of your medical records with you. If you can go straight to a specialist, find a GI doc, maybe one that other chrons patients in your new area recomend, if you can find anyone online or know anyone in your area. Otherwise, get setup with a primary care doc and see if they will prescribe the meds based on your medical records or reffer you out... it will depend on the doctor and their comfort with the meds and your issues if they will be willing to do this, so expect to be reffered to a GI specialist. Emphasize how urgent it is. Even if you go straight to a specialist, get setup with a primary care doc right away, too. Don't be afraid to change doctors or seek a second opinion. Bring as many doses of your current meds as you can with you. How quickly you can get in to see some one will depend on where you are in the US. Ask them to put you on a cancellations call list if your appointment is further out, they will sometimes call if they have a cancellation and you can get in earlier... depends on the practice. Emphasize with them when you talk to scheduling how urgent it is because you need to continue your meds. Be kind in all your interactions, and they can often find ways to work you in if they understand how urgent it is. Don't be afraid to call around to find a specialist with an earlier opening, even if you change specialists later becuase one is a better fit.
