So it's not surprising that a bewildering array of alternatives to the traditional doctor-patient relationship have surfaced. Alternatives that promise to save you money in return for seeking your health care from an institution rather than directly from your personal physician. if you are considering joining a clinic-based HMO, think carefully about what you'll be losing in the bargain: the freedom to choose your own physician from among all who practice in this community; the freedom to choose the hospital that best suits your needs; the certainty that your health care coverage can be continued regardless of where you move; the relationship you've already developed with your present doctor. You'll have to give up your PCS Card and dental insurance as well. Be sure you understand all the facts before you decide to abandon your proven medi cal insurance. Don’t Lose Your Right to Choose!
