Need prayers for my Mom

Dave, it may not work. The doc may claim (and it might even be real) that he was not authorized to release that info to you.

Did the new doc tell you what the problem was? Was it something really demanding treatment in a noncontroversial way? there are pros and cons to any treatment. You would know this, of course, if the original doc had expalined things the first time around.

demand the maximum amount of information. Keep in mind that in many cases, you are not the medical establishment's customer. The insurance company is, and this is why you are being treated like this. It is not a function of being in a small town.

best of luck.
 
The issue was elevated kidney values from tests last fall, they where going to "keep an eye on it". We never heard the results from Nov and Dec which turned out to be much worse.

It's not that they didn't tell me, they didn't tell my mom, or my sister either who is both a nurse AND filled out the HIPAA forms. (I checked since you mentioned it)

My guess is that periodic tests where ordered, results came in and nobody bothered to look at them, or if they looked at them didn't bother to make sure we knew the results.
 
I hope you can find a good doctor!! That is rotten that the doctor did NOT tell her about the test results!! What is wrong with that doctor???
 
Dave, I'm glad to hear that your Mother is doing better. I hope everything turns out alright and you are able to insure she gets the best of care. She is in my thoughts and prayers.
