HMO's have a basic care system where one size fits all...that is how they make their enormous profit. It is up to you to figure out what the tests and advice are showing...with help from your PCP and specialists. Problem is the advice you get is taken from a scripted play sheet. Never blindly do what your physician(s) recommend until you look at more that just their dogma!
