Actually if she was in the USA. She would need to call around to find a doctor accepting new patients that take her insurance.
My friend has a tumor on her spine. It took 4 months to get an appointment with a doctor who took her insurance.
The doctor met with her to tell her that "she doesn't feel qualified to assist. This case is is clearly too critical for her( the doctor)".
And.....
Now she's calling around again.
