Cathy | Can my doctor's staff refuse to give me an appointment to see him because my insurance didn't pay yet? |
I called for an appt.and one of his receptionist said I had to pay at least $55. before he was able to see me. I don't pay anything out of pocket, because my secondary insurance picks up the 20% that my primary ins. doesn't pay. I was very upset, but I know it is not my physician saying this. It is the new practice administrator making these new rules. Should there be something in writing given to the patients? |

Yes, because it is YOU who is responsible for payment, NOT the insurance company.
I know that sounds strange and "unfair", but it is true. YOU are the one receiving services and it is you who is responsible to make payments to the provider.
Make payments until the insurance kicks in. If need be, there may be some refund due you, but you must make payments until the insurance clicks in. |

Dear heart, it is normally on the wall at the receptionist Co pay due before seeing the Doctor. If you owe money, yes they can refuse you. But if you go to the hospital, they must take you, money or no. You will be billed. |

How long overdue is the bill. It is your responsiblity to take care of it so you should contact your insurance about payment. I have never heard of them denying you an appointment though. I would consider finding a new doc. |

Sure, they can refuse to give you an appointment if you're behind on payments. Always remember that, insurance or not, the person ultimately responsible for payment of charges due is the patient. Simply pay the $55 to get the appointment. When the insurer pays their portion, you will receive a refund. |

You would not believe how many times it IS the Doctor saying this. I would call your insurance and see where they are in the process of paying. I would see if you can talk it over with your Doctor's nurse or assistant.
If that does not bring results then you will have to pony up the $55...unfortunantly some of the paperwork that is common to sign in a Doctors office states that if your insurance does not pay then you are responsible for the charges. I would also ask, if you pay the $55 dollars and then your insurance pays, will they refund your money...if they will not (and if they say yes, make sure you get it in writing) then I would change Doctors.
You can request a copy of your medical chart if you really want to see if there is anything signed that says you are responsible...I would bet there is. Make sure you read everything you are signing for this reason. |

I lost my LONG TIME doctor lately because of $80 I supposedly owe (because of a payment not made by insurance company) and I told them, if my policy isn't going to pay for this test, I don't WANT IT but he made me get it......I've had this doc for like 15 YEARS!!!
I feel your pain..... |

I would contact the doctor directly. Just because they have a staff to oversee the business, doesn't mean that the staff need be rude. If your insurance is supposed to pay, and they have submitted it in a timely manner, it's between your insurance and you. Contact the insurance and check the status of your claim. It may not have been routed correctly.
If you bring attention to the fact that your healthcare is being affected because of their delay in paying, there may be a little effort made in resolving this. |

This is a poor decision on the practice administrator's part. Particularly since you have a secondary carrier. Call the office ask them when the claim was submitted and if they followed up on it and when. Tell them you are going to call the insurance company and find out when the claim will be paid (I can almost promise the ins. co will say they never received it.) Let them also know you plan to complain to the ins.co. because the doctor is making you pay upfront. (If he is contracted with the insurance company he has agreed to accept their payment policy.)
Then follow up on it. I also suggest you ask them to fax you a copy of the claim so you can submit it yourself if it isn't on file.
Good luck. |

They are aloud to do that. You have every right to be upset. Just because they are aloud to do that doesn't mean it was kind. Maybe your doctor can help if you talk to her about it. It's kind of a bummer, but you may need to find another doctor since you don't deserve to be made to feel like that. |

They can refuse to give you an appointment for ANY REASON. They don't even have to tell you why.
But, you can always pay the outstanding yourself, and then you chase down the insurance company. |

He can refuse to see anyone for any reason. It would be nice to have these rules in writing but won't happen |
