Leslie,

One other thing has been important to me in my coverage since cancer. My medical oncologist became my primary care physician right after my treatment ended, and ever since then I have made sure that any plan I participated in would allow that to continue. I still see him for follow-ups every 6 months or so, and he has coordinated the referrals to virtually every other specialist of any kind that I have needed to see.
