On my last insurance (individual plan also) there was only one ENT that would take it and I had to wait like 2 months for an appointment. Then the hurricane ended up coming around the time of my appointment so they called to say they would reschedule and they never did. Still haven't seen an ENT.
And I paid for my insurance, it wasn't medicare or anything like that. It's just an individual plan as I'm self employed.
