From a conversation I had with Dr. Frederick Vivino, (December 14th) he will work with a (local) PCP on a consultation basis, as long as visits with him are within a year apart. Otherwise, there are issues with insurance companies, and people lose their certification and can't/don't/aren't able to  return.

Vivino is Head of the Sjögren's Syndrome Center and the Department of Rheumatology at Penn Presbyterian Hospital, part of Penn Medicine, of the University of Pennsylvania. He is an author of two chapters in The Sjögren's Book, published by the Sjögren's Foundation.
