 Can I sue?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Florida I took a fall in 02 and Started going to this ortho dr. Since then I had carpal tunnel surgery, staple in wrist, plate in wrist with screws and reconstruction on shoulder. I was also having neck pain and had an MRI done last oct. Two weeks after i returned to dr for him to say I have herniated discs in my cervical spine and degenerative disc disease. That cortizone shots would be the next route prior to surgery. I then got new coverage and he didn't accept my plan. I went back in March of this year (paying cash for visit). And the first thing he asked was how was the lump in my throat doing? Shocked I asked, "What lump?" His response word for word, "Didnt they tell you at the MRI place?" (which being a CMA I knew that they were not allowed to give out information.). I said I thought you were supposed to tell me. He said nope they are. And told me I should see my PCP. When I went to my PCP, (who I hate), I told him about the conversation and he said ABSOLUTELY NOT the DR is supposed to relay that information to you. Anyway, now I called the ortho last week to let them know my insurance would cover them out of network that he had to fill out a form online for payment. I called today and was told "He refuses to fill out the form and I should find another doctor." I find this quite suspicious since im going there for so long, I wasn't a "problem patient", now since the information wasn't given to me he no longer wants to see me. Something is not right.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? |

| I assume you have since gotten a copy of your MRI report and taken it to your PCP and addressed whatever problem needed addressing?
