It is a county program. I contacted them and they stated to me that the Doctor HAS to refer me. I did ask them for a copy of my medical records but they want to charge a $1.00 per page and that wold cost me a fortune. I can't afford it. Right now I am out of work and can't work and I am in the middle of filing for SSI. But, it is paused because my Dr will not fill it out. I'm telling you, he is evil.
I did file an official complaint on him with the insurance. Apparently I am not the only one.
I will start seeing a new Dr at the end of July. But, until then I have no one. I thought of seeing a specialist and pay out of my pocket. My sister goes to a specialist that only cost her $50.00 a month but the thing is in order to see him you have to pay $550 up front for the first visit and you have to bring an MRI (why I don't know).
Also, the SSI wants my testing results so I asked my Dr to send me for an EMT (not sure what it is called) for the PN. He refused. I explained to him that I needed the testing to file for SSI and he told me that I did not qualify for SSI and he was not going to support that.
But yet, he diagnosed me with Neuropathy but won't send me for testing. What if I really don't have it and it is something else?
