Avoid Costly Delays in Your Healthcare: Why the Right Specialist Matters
May 16, 2025
Think about this… you’ve been having chest pain and visit the Emergency Department. The ER team tells you to follow up closely with a cardiologist for further testing.
You wait weeks for your appointment, only to find out you were mistakenly scheduled with an electrophysiologist—a cardiologist who focuses on heart rhythm problems, not chest pain. Instead of getting answers, you’re told you need to see a general cardiologist and must wait several more weeks to be seen.
Not only is your chest pain still unresolved, but you also:
Paid a copay or deductible for a visit that didn’t meet your needs.
May have been billed for tests and an exam that didn’t address your symptoms.
Lost valuable time that could have been spent finding the right treatment plan.
Unfortunately, this kind of mistake is common in today’s complex healthcare system. Patients often assume that “cardiologist” means one thing, when in fact there are many subspecialties—and choosing the wrong one can cost both time and money.
