Legal Question in Personal Injury in Oklahoma
pre existing conditions and auto accident
I was involved in 3 car accident and it was not my fault.
I've had back surgery and was currently in therapy on my neck. my therapist discharged me pending another referral from my pcp who refused to file this with my hmo. The pcp finally saw me today and did third party billing with myself as responsible party and gave me a script for futher physical therapy, but refuses to get it authorized thru my hmo. My hmo says they can not force the pcp to accept me as an auto accident patient. My question is what should I do with the script for therapy do to the auto accident. The other person has ins. and my attorney is willing to give lein info , but the therapist that my pcp referred me to which is the same therapist that I was seeing for my neck before the accident says that this has to be authorized through my hmo and that request has to come from the pcp. I been advised to find another pcp but that is something that can not be done until 9/1/2004 whici will not help me now. Is there any alternative avenues that I can pursue at this time?
