Can a doctor deny seeing me unless I enjoy insurance card?


My health insurance coverage started two weeks ago but I hold not received my ID card. My insurance is slow in sending me my ID card. My doctor appointment was today and the doctor give me grief because I did not have an ID card. My doctor is unfolding me that I should not be scheduling an appointment unless I have an ID card.

Can I doctor embargo to see me unless I have insurance? The department manager is aphorism that too many society are deliquent in their bills and they are not likely to take this risk.

Can someone beside health insurance culture or doctor office government experience help me next to this. Thank you!

Yes,a Dr can refuse to see you minus your insurance card.
This is his office policy and pretty much a angelic one though I know you aren't really interested in hearing this.
There are soo tons people out in that that will come into the Dr office dictum that they do have insurance but don't hold their card yet when surrounded by fact they may not really enjoy one at all and the Dr singular finds this out when the insurance company denies payment and by afterwards the patient is long gone and they Dr doesn't attain paid for the services he provided.
There are numbers and address on that insurance card that the insurance clerk needs for file your insurance. Even if the insurance company is a well agreed company,because different employers can hold different plans and each plan have a different carrier within the company and the insurance clerk needs to know for sure which address to dispatch things to.
Alot of companies have a file deadline and if the insurance clerk doesn't get the claim to the right address the first time she files afterwards it takes up more time and formerly you know it,she does get it to the right insurance company but immediately the filing deadline have passed and the claim gets denied and YEP,the Dr does not draw from paid for the organization visit.
I am sorry that you have this problem. . .if the insurance clerk were one that be more efficent she could have call your Personnel Office and gotten that information but alot of employers impose sanctions to pay their insurance clerks for this time on the phone when if single the patient would bring the proper stuff to commence with.
Insurance billing is a tough spectator sport and the insurance companies make it harder and harder. . esp. Medicare and Medicaid and i.e. why alot of offices are starting to stay away from to take these insurances..
Take it as a erudition experience and next time you will know.

you can arrange for the insurance company to give the name the doctor's office and provide proof of your insurance. otherwise you lately have to skulk for the card. it is legal for the doctor to turn you away, ill-fatedly.
