From my experience it depends on which health care provider you have. I have Kaiser and some things are pretty quick, some things aren't. I used to be on Covered California aka the ACA and things were a lot slower. Seems like, generally, the more money you pay in premiums the faster service you can get.
Maybe it could also be related to the difference between an HMO and normal insurance?
Yeah, could be
kaiser is so-so, but not great, they are just all doctors in one building type of deal. i had a pretty bad experience with a Kaiser ENT, deliberately ignored my concerns because he got MAD , apparently i was supposed to do only phone appointments and he felt like i waste my time according to him, and he vented his anger on the poor nurse that was in the area/ or the one that put me in the room. then he started laughing me out of the room because of that(i was having pretty frequent nosebleeds). when i switched ENT they found the cause of it(and i did have deviated septum as well, but that was apparently the source of his anger, because doctors do not like to hear patients mention procedures/surgery).
also KAIser tends to be expensive as well, thats why some employers arnt willing to pay for it.
