Primary care doctor? One in the north, one in the south?
Does anyone have two primary care doctors? Or one primary care doc and a secondary southern GP doc? How does that work? How did you get the second doc?

I thought doctors now accept consultations by phone in case you are out of town.
Have not tried this ourselves since we are reasonably healthy and would set an appointment only for regular physicals twice a year.
But our PCP would assure us we can call her anytime, consulting hours of course.
Dave has done two 'office visits' with his nephrologist this spring. He went and had labs drawn a week ahead, then did the visit via Face Time. I had to make sure I had his weight that morning, as well as blood pressure, medication list, etc., for the nurse who called ahead of the appointment - all of those things that they go over with you before you see the physician. He can't do that with the cardiologist because they need to listen to his heart. And for our primary care physician, we update via the patient portal. Medicare will now pay for telemedicine visits just like regular office visits.
