Thank you.. and you are so right... you never stop thinking about the ones you lose... but I try to remember the good things, happy times and it kinda helps.
Now, I do have some really exciting news.. Avantmeds is now working with a Physicians referral service that has doctors in over 40 states and totally in tune with the new format for face to face and on going treatment of CP patients. I believe that now we will, the OCS's thet are trying to continue to offer quality service to our patients, be able to take back control of the industry and get things back on track. I am confident that this new network of physicians will provide reliable service and will be updating the states as they come available in the coming weeks.

As I said on the other board Cos...I am SO sorry for your loss and I know just how badly it feels to lose those you love. It stymies you into a place you never knew existed. To lose 2 people so dear is beyond tragic....my heart goes out to you.
I know a member or 2 who have used your service and have had success...Sometimes things go wrong as you said...you are not responsible for what comes from the doctors. They do what they deem best. I went to one service once and I had a PA who lectured me for 1/2 an hour and did not give me what I needed and when I got my medication it was wrong anyway.
I am glad you came to defend yourself and I hope things are better for you Cos...I know it takes many years to "get used to" people we lose not being around...it has been 8 years and I miss my husband still...there is that emptiness that noone can fill...God has been good to me tho and given me 2 beautiful grandchildren and it had given me more focus and purpose and a reason to work on getting better even more....
My job here is to post OCSs that are open for business. I wish the happy people would post here and elsewhere...They are afraid and I cannot say I blame them. BUT Face to face is legal and there should be nothing to fear...if the gov does not like this new wave, they will find a way to make it illegal...
People, I KNOW you come here and get your info yet only 4 of us post here on a regular basis...it would be sort of paying your dues, so to speak, since this place IS free, and I do spend time researching what I can...to stop and let us know your experiences with the services you have tried or work with....people need help and this is why I keep this board open....to help people...this part is password protected to keep you safe. Make up a new goofy name but PLEASE post your OCS and let us know how it goes...
Thanks for stopping by Cos and God bless!

Just wanted to make a comment regarding the accusations posted about Avantmeds. First, I do apologize for the delay in posting, I lost my daughter and mother in the past 3 months and have been a bit off the mark. In regards to Avantmeds ripping people off for their money, that is totally bogus. In the 3 years I have been in business I have had exactly 1 charge back which was a result of a client who was not happy with the results of the doctors service. Anyone who gets charged and does not receive an exam or phone consult has their money refunded to their credit card. The new F2F model has been a challenge in respect to the lack of dedication from some doctors who say they are on board but do not adhere to the contracts. I can not dictate to any doctor how he conducts his business and if he chooses to stop servicing the patients I can only remove him from my service. I understand the frustration of the people that this affected when it occured, what I do not understand is bashing or blaming me as if I personally caused it. I have always been honest and fair and go above and beyond to make sure my clients are satisfied and Avantmeds will always provide nothing less than the best in customer care.

Dawn,
In my research I have found the webcam and "skype" thing does not meet the legal definition of "face to face". I have been researching pain managment clinics in my area. They are approximately the same costs as other online services available. However, a monthly visit is required a random urinalysis is a possibility. Just to make sure and keep the patient honest. These types of places, when ran correctly, are perfectly within the law (for my state anyway) and rarely have any problems.
Pain managment clinics that have a pharmacy attached attract a lot of attention, open advertising of services in newspapers and lots of out of state traffic can cause problems for the patients (or customers). Vanguard News Channel had a special on TV last night which was mostly aimed at south Florida. Its very informing.
I think, for me, this is the direction I am going to take now. I too used to trust Cos at Avant but being burned twice is enough. I stayed with him even when some forums threads were burning up about his practices. Total monetary loss to me for both, actually now I think about it there was also a third minor incident, was over $500. I doubt I will ever hear from Cos and doubt he even cares how many people lose out with him or are put in difficult situations. There are lots of other services out there if you have the records, time and money and as I said above try to look for some type of respectable pain managment clinic located close.
Good Luck to All !

Dawn....Make sure the word is out because, contrary to the agreement with his service, credit cards will be charged for consults scheduled but never were or intended to be done. You can call and get an excuse but don't be fooled. Do the chargeback !
Also I am having a problem getting consult records from the original F2F . So my pharmacy record shows the medications but no medical notes to try and find another service. The Dr was (is) a #@%$#U&!
So maybe a letter to to the medical board or the local newspaper with a tip on why so many cars from out of state were in the parking lot at the Doc's office couple months ago. One good turn deserves another.
Stay safe and stay away from this service.
ps ...My info was sold and Cos blames the Dr. Who knows ?

Thanks for the feedback, Ripped...I am surprised...Cos always seemed on the up and up. I did not hear anything from the other boards I visit at ALL...I did invite Cos to come and share his business here but he never came...He DID email me to get the addy but never showed...I wanted to see if there was a discount. People will not post what they do who who they use in fear of being watched I guess...My one board I go to the people only complain when something does not work out...not speaking of you of course...I am glad you joined up and share...Thank you and please, stick around a post! We would love to have someone new to chat with!
I am sorry that AVANT screwed you over...

Was a patient with Avant for two years. Ripped last year and just ripped again this year. Face to Face goes fine, after that count on NO REFILLS, NO COMMUNICATION, NO NOTHING.
They will schedule the follow up consult however, the Dr will never call. Cos will say its not his fault and when you call the Dr's office the nurse will tell you the Dr is reviewing the files for "all you people" !!
Don't give away your money here. I fell for this same scam last year and gave Cos the benefit of a doubt.
Same stuff all over again.
