You will need to speak with the doctor&amp;#39;s office to see if they typically send out a written notice when they elect to no longer see a patient and to see if they have a way for you to file a complaint, as we cannot require a provider to see a patient if they do not wish to do so.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you need assistance changing your PCP again you can contact our customer service team at the number on your Id card and they can assist you with this. ~ Kayla&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div style="clear:both;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
