Your first priority should be getting care. That is definitely legal.Īlso agree with akknkk above.
Sometimes we called security to escort the person out. I worked in several medical practices and rude patients, or patients who insulted or cursed to the staff were immediately dismissed from the practice. if you do decide to call and raise outraged hell and are aggressive with the staff and/or use profanity, they will not accept you in the practice. They do have the right to decide who to accept.īut. Specialists often limit their patients to those that fit within their specialty, and not every endo specializes in diabetes, though it is a huge proportion of most practices. Your insurer might be able to help both with the technical legality, but also to find you an endocrinologist who will see you. posted by nayantara to Health & Fitness (10 answers total)īest answer: I don't know the answer to the legality question, which seems like a thicket that you will likely spend a lot of energy on without being satisfied. If they are indeed doing something illegal right now I want to get confirmation from them and report them, but I want to make sure I'm not, like, jumping the gun or working with incomplete information as I am not a doctor or a lawyer. I am literally recovering from a burst ovarian cyst as we speak. Is that true? Like, legally is that true? Because if it is, I'm prepared to call that practice back and raise bloody hell with them. The nurse was infuriated in my behalf and said I really should look for a different doctor and also legally this practice cannot deny me medical care. I called my former endo and spoke with her nurse, and she literally also said "What the actual fuck." They are faxing over all of my charts posthaste (including records they obtained from two prior endocrinologists I was under the care of when I was younger). I called them demanding an explanation and they asked if I could contact my former endocrinologist for my medical records I guess to "prove" that I've been under the care of an endocrinologist before. I am diabetic, and they don't think I need to see an endocrinologist?! The local endocrinologist practice received my PCP's referral and the lab work and sent over a message to my PCP this morning REJECTING THE REFERRAL, specifically citing my A1C as the reason for the rejection. I take Metformin but I am running out of meds, my PCP is willing to prescribe it to me but would rather I be under the care of an endocrinologist, she doesn't want her prescribing me these meds to be an ongoing thing. Diabetes runs on both sides of my family and my grandmother died of diabetes -related complications. I am 37 years old, have been in treatment for PCOS since I was 15, and my A1C has never been this high. The lab work indicates that my current A1C is 6.6. I finally found a practice nearby accepting new patients and my PCP faxed over a referral as well as recent lab work. The insurance related bureaucracy has been a nightmare. I have been trying for six months to get an appointment with an endocrinologist local to me as I have recently moved. I literally just got home from the doctor after having a cyst burst and now I have to deal with another kind of medical shit show on top of personal problems at home. If so, mods, please remove and accept my sincere apologies. This is because he is only seen when Bonnie removes his face, so he is a variant of Bonnie.Hi, I'm here again and hopefully this does not constitute abuse of the unlimited questions allowed on AskMe now. Trailer Endo was removed since he doesn't actually exist.
