Do you tell the Doctor that your "on" ?

[Wanderlei Silva]

I was thinking of going in for a check up and I was wondering if you guys come right out and tell the doc you're on, and what you're taking?

[pumpd4lif]

their is that doc patient privlage thing rt.but what ru going to gain outa telling him.

[Jredwine]

In the US you definitely cannot get in trouble from your doc telling. (ie HIPAA/Dr/Patient Confidentiality) But I do wonder if this could affect your insurance. (ie drop or raise your prems.) Anyone know??

[MrMent1on]

always tell your doctor.

[pumpd4lif]

if he asks yea. but just for say sake if nothing was wrong and he wasnt giving me any med or antibiotics i wouldnt.

[Killzone]

I wouldn't tell him unless you have a problem but that is just me. I don't think most doctors know shit about juice and they will only criticize you.

[D7M]

it's not a bad idea to tell him. if he's cool, he'll prob just give you a 2 min speech about, then help you out. That's what mine did

Be staight up with him its all good they here alot worse thats forsure

[Teabagger]

Be honest with the doc...and no the insurance companies cannot track what you see your doc for.

[james21]

If he needs to know(bloodwork,problems etc) then let him know ... otherwise no biggie

[got fina?]

I think its a no brainer. I tell him everything, and even ask him for advice.
I think it wouldnt make sence to go see a doc and hold back the info which brought me there to begin with.
I actually see a doctor who specializes in sport medicine, and gives me scripts for all my pct stuff no prob.

[ACAZORES]

I never see a doctor but if I ever have to see him I wont tell nothing, only in case Im dieing, lol

[brutesinme]

simple - tell him.

[masterjuice]

yea i told my doc and he helped me wit my pct and did all blood work to see how my levels are, they are gonna get paid no matter wat, why would they tell your insurance

[IBdmfkr]

lol, yea right I'd NEVER tell my doctor... Wife made that mistake with a rec drug a long time ago and turns out her OBGYN put it on her file and now 4yrs later she still can't get health insurance... LE and Insurance companies can look at your medical files FYI...
