I live in a limited medically served area. Last week I changed to another primary practitioner. My "original primary" took my regular MM blood tests for my oncologist who visits from another state and is within the same medical group.
It's a little confusing and long-winded, but basically I just want to know if my Oncologist and my Primary have to be in the same medical group.?

It's perfectly fine. My primary care, primary oncologist and myeloma specialist all work for different groups

Thank you! I have to call my original Primary and my Oncologist's office to report my change and hope it's ok with both.

Anymore, I do what I Must, but if there is a better alternative, like phone consultations or closer resources ( medical centers etc.),I'd rather do...convenience, so to speak. It's just a bit different here

I just moved and oh wow after these years I have my health care providers all in one pile instead of spread out to 3 states.
