[QUOTE="Lothlorien, post: 150324, member: 1024"] My doctor does a lot of what is called Peer Reviews. If doctors do unnecessary procedures (which occurs more frequently than you realize) the ins. co can refuse to pay for the procedure. This, of course, is not considered medical mistake. If the doctor makes a mistake, he should pay to fix it. Most likely, if he's made a mistake, you will sue and get the money to fix the problem and that's why ins. companies are no longer paying for the second procedure. Ins. companies are just evil! My advice, if you are being advised of ANY type of procedure, call the insurance company. Get something in writing for exactly what they will pay and what they won't pay. Also, get the procedure and all that goes along with it, including if there's complications, in writing from the doctor also. This way, there won't be any surprises after the procedure is done.
