I don't know about your government insurance programs, but I've never heard of one that did not give you some sort of choice of doctors or at least a second opinion consult. You can also say that the current doctor creeps you out and you want a female doctor. The trick is to keep calling your insurance company back until you get someone who is helpful, knowledgable and sympathetic on the phone. Try calling at different times/shifts if you keep getting the same people. You should call your insurance company and tell them you would like a second opinion and who can you see.
