How do I select a doctor for a long-term care plan?
assistant
Start by researching doctors in your area who provide long-term care services. Check online reviews, ask friends and family members, or contact your insurance provider for a list of recommended doctors. 2 Once you have gathered a list of potential doctors, contact each one to set up a consultation. Ask for information about their experience, credentials, and fees.3 During the consultation, be sure to ask questions about their fees, treatment options, and how long they have been providing long-term care.4 Ask to speak with any current or previous patients, if possible, to get their insight on the doctor's experience and bedside manner.  5 Compare doctors on the basis of their qualifications, fees, treatment plans, and patient testimonials. Then select the doctor that you feel best meets your needs and budget.
