Re: Number of Doctors
Not at all! You have the right to see your own doctor, especially if you have not already. I would recommend you contact an attorney immediately if the insurance company continues to deny your treatment with the doctor you choose. It may require that a petition be filed in court to get the insurance company moving. I'd be happy to help - just contact me anytime. Thank you and good luck.
