We are thinking of moving to DR (me hubby and 2 young children) in the near future, possibly not very near a city.
What is the general procedure if you need a doctor. Do you have to register with a practice? I gather from what has been discussed we may need to find various doctors for various fields ie one for the adults one for the kids.
I would really like to pick anybody's brains on how health insurance works (we are from the UK). How expensive is insurance? Do we get it in the DR? Do we use doctors who accept patients with insurance or do we find our own, pay ourselves at the time and then claim back from insurance company? If the latter can you generally get all the costs back or does medical insurance only cover part?
Apologies if there are too many questions or I am in the wrong thread, I have just registered and this is my main concern with moving to the DR at the moment due to bringing the 'little 'uns'.
Any info or direction on where to get it would be much appreciated.
