Emerson Robert K MD

I am incredibly tired of the way that doctors in this country handle patients.
I was diagnosed by Dr. Emerson with Sleep Apnea several years ago. I am using the sleep apnea CPAP machine that was prescribed.
Recently I needed supplies. I did not need anything that is incredibly serious, just a new nasal pillow and a filter for the machine. I was told by my local supplier of CPAP gear that they would need to call Emerson’s office for a new prescription to be able to sell me the supplies that I need.
I received a call back from Home Point medical supply telling me that Dr. Emerson’s office refused to refill the prescription without seeing me in person.
My condition has not changed, I use the same equipment that I have had for the past few years and the only reason that I can think of that they would want to «See me» is so that they can charge me a specialist fee, have me wait an hour to see a doctor who will then write a script allowing me to get a 2 ounce filter and a small nasal pillow.
I called and spoke to a nurse at Dr. Emerson’s office who told me it was an «Insurance Rule» that I had to come in to see them again.
I told her «I do not have insurance». She stammered and then said… «OK well its also dr. Emerson’s rule»…
This is just a money grab by a greedy doctor who certainly could stand to up his customer service.
I wasn’t asking for drugs. I was asking for a piece of plastic…
