How do you stop a parent from doctor shopping?

Medicare is her primary, but she has blue cross blue shield that picks up the rest. I refuse to take her to anyone but her primary care physician that she has been seeing for about a year. Excellent Dr., But doesnt tell her what she wants to hear. She calls different Dr. and whines about how mistreated and neglected she is. I had one call me in last year to quiz me about her sad state of affairs. Told me my mother was very distressed because I had wrested power of Attorney when she was in the hospital after her stroke, 2008. He was stunned when I told him I had the power of attorney with me dated 2003.

I honestly think if she keeps this up someone will be calling Adult Protective Services. One in home rehab nurse threatened to even though we had a caregiver popping in for 4 hour shifts and on call as needed for her when she lived at home.

She is wasting her time and the doctor's. Whose money is she wasting? What kind of insurance does she have that pays for 4th opinions?

I wonder if you could alert her medical insurance company to what is going on ...?

She's going to keep looking for a doctor that will give her what she wants until someone puts a final stop to it. What about her car insurance company? If they were to get a letter from one of these doctors, saying of the risk your mother is to drive, would they drop her? What about the DMV, have you called them to find out what the protocol is when someone is unsafe to drive? I'd hate to see her drive, get into an accident that's her fault, and become one of the growing statistics that I see on TV of yet ANOTHER senior driver behind the wheel when they shouldn't be.
