Continuity of Care is a concept that ensures patients can continue receiving care from their current healthcare provider even if there are changes in their insurance plan. In this case, the caller has been seeing a specialist who accepted their old plan and now they have switched to a new plan. Since the caller has been in the new plan for less than 60 days and it takes a long time to get an appointment with this specialist, it is important to explain Continuity of Care to the caller. This will help them understand that they may still be able to see the specialist and provide them with information on how to proceed with their current plan.Rate this question:
