Reply to comment by G2KY in Boston Healthcare System Total Garbage? by UltimateZo
The people above seem to believe you can just call and get an appointment same day, but I have been having the exact same experience as you. These seem like two completely different worlds. What am I missing here?

I don’t know. I am on a PPO plan which requires referrals. And this happened at the hospital of my college which makes it mlre egregious imho. Also, I was willing to travel to other parts of MA just to get evaluated due to the urgency of my problem but I was not able to get any appointments at all.

Crazy. Some of the people here are so entitled and prideful about the Boston healthcare system that they are blinded by the inherent flaws present. I am also on a PPO plan, but it requires nothing - referrals, pre-authorization, etc.
I hope you are able to solve everything in the near future and happy to hear you have an appointment for the future. Wishing all the best!

Prescription ≠ referral

It says no pre-authorization. A prescription is a doctors way of authorizing you to receive something that can’t normally be accessed.
