I Need Help from a licensed Professional?
This is bad, real bad for me I really need some advice from someone who is a medical professional in the area of pharmacy or dispensing of medications. I suffer from AADD and narcolepsy along with disassociates disorder (multiple personalities). I must take a rather high dose of Adderall each day in order to remain functional. I have been on this drug for almost ten years and in that time my dosage has been gradually increased to what it is now. Before Adderall,it was Dexedrine and I was on a very high dose of that also.All along in these many years my health insurance paid for my medication,no problem.Recently however,they are threatening my doctor with legal action if he doesn’t stop prescribing this medication for me.They have accused him of over prescribing and malpractice.They also said they were going to investigate him and have his licence to practice medicine revoked.They came just short of accusing him and ME of insurance fraud.
Your opinion as to why insurance costs (medical) are so high? What do you think can be done?
I’ve worked in insurance & the medical field & the fraud that goes on is a huge cause of high ins costs. More should be done to crack down on the people & institutions committing the fraud.
In the hospital I worked at, during a surgery case you maybe used two strips of elastoplast to hold a dressing on. The patient is charged for the whole role. This was also the case with regular tape.
My friend had a C-section & had to pay it all for lack of ins. She went over the bill & got $700 taken off it. They had charged her for a certain medication 3 x a day & she only took 2 pills. They charged her for sitz baths for her episiotomy, which she never had because she had a c-section. She found a few other discrepancies also. If you don’t see your bill, your ins co may be being charged for things you didn’t even receive.
People who milk dbl and workers comp claims are ridiculous. They don’t show up for exams causing more paperwork, etc., all costing money.
can you sue the hospital if they were wrong and said you didnt have something when someone else said you do?
i went to the hospital three days ago because i was in pain. my family doctor told me to go there to get help since i could not get to her. well i had a pretty good idea what was wrong with me same with my doctor. but the doctor at the hospital said no. i called my regular doctor and told what happened and was told to come see her emediatly. well me and her were both right and the doctor was wrong. just so you have abetter understanding of this we are talking about herpes which f there is an outbreak is very noticable (and quite painful). so there should have been no mistake at all. can i sue the hospital? ( have the bill from the hospital cleared at least since he made a mistake) and there was also talk of me haveing cancer when my doctor didnt see one sign of cancer. what can i do????
If you know what you are doing though you would know the difference between herpes and a little rash from your skin rubbing together. EVEN I KNOW THAT AND I DONT HAVE A DEGREE IN ANYTHING! If you are an OB/GYN you should know exactly what you are doing down there. and to the girl who said i am pathetic- you wouldn’t be saying this if you were going through the same physical pain i am going through. and yes i was prescribed a medication that according to my doctor and textbooks makes the situation much worse and painful. i cant even walk with out feeling the pain, can’t sit down or lay down t sleep. do i sound pathetic now?
and also i have no medical insurance of anykind. i had just started my job and my insurance hasnt started yet. i kinda feel like they didnt want to waste any of there money on me (if you can prove you cannot pay for the costs for certain reasons such as mine you pay nothing)
