seedbrage@lemmy.worldtoMildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•[Final Update] My insurance won't cover UTIs for males. Yes, I'm in the US.English

1 year agoJust want to throw my 2c in. I’m a physician and from our perspective male UTIs are rare and warrant a much more thorough medical evaluation by a professional, compared to female UTIs which are extremely common and don’t require a thorough (or even in-person) evaluation in most cases. If I had a male patient with a UTI and no other know medical history I would insist they are seen by a physician for a complete evaluation. From other comments here it seems that CVS does not employ physicians in their clinic.
No, not what I said. His insurance will cover a primary care visit. The staff at the cvs are simply not qualified to treat a male UTI.
