I was injurred on the job and less than 2 weeks later they had dropped my medical without notifying me. I’t wasn’t a company supplied medical program but purchased under the owners coverage and I payed the majority of the premium my self. where do I stand?
the problem is while seing the workers comp doctor for the injury he discovered possible unrelated issues in the area of the injury (possible cancer) I went to my doctor to get an evaluation and found the dropped medical and wasn’t able to continue.

is there a statue of limitations on how longer after you receive medical care/supplie can they bill you for it

mommy of 4 asked:


I am the custodial parent of 2 children ages 8 and 11. Our court papers mandate him to supply medical but nowhere does it state he has to supply me with a copy. Recently our girls have been recommended to start therapy (by the school social worker that my ex requested speak to them). The list he gave me of participating therapists is outdated and he refuses to give me the phone number or insurance info to find the info myself. (i got the ins info from the drs office but no phone number) My point is that besides the issue of therapists right now.. what would happen if we are out of town and something happens that we have to go to the hospital and i have no insurance info on me? Is this just a control issue (he is losing more and more and its been 6 yrs.) I had an insurance card up until 3 yrs ago when his insurance changed.

I’d like to get my very lovable cat to make hospital visits to a local hospital in my area, but I don’t know what’s required of an animal to make such a visit.
For example, would my/a cat have to declawed to visit? Does it depend on the hospital? Or is it a general code in most hospitals?

If a hospital falsifies your medical records, and they fail to correct the problem, who do you call?
