Can doctor lend you medicine? will it be possible you owe doctor injection medication?

I went to this doctor for infertility issues. The doctor never consulted with me about my situation and all she did was asking nurse giving me blood draw daily and injections for at least 4 days in a week. I have no idea of what and why I have to take so many blood draw and injections. And then the doctor gave me a prescription for all the injections medicine I owed. Man, its nearly $1000 out of pocket with insurance. Maybe people can tell me, %26quot;infertility medication is expensive.%26quot; But I am new to this also the doctor knows I am new - again, how expensive is expensive? I am just wondering - is it legal for them to do things like that? When they apply the injections on me, I never signed anything or agreed on anything and they just did it. I am so stressed out. I went there and now owed them $1000 for nothing. I still do not know what my problem is. I just want to know how I can handle this. This doctor is really unreasonable and the worse doctor I ever met.



Thank you.

Most fertility procedures are not covered by insurance companies %26amp; you most likely signed a contract when you first went to the clinic that said that you assume responsibility of any costs not covered by insurance, so yes it is legal. It is your responsibility to ask questions about what they are doing to you %26amp; your body %26amp; about the costs of such procedures before you go through with them. Also, when it comes to infertility, there are no gurantees for pregnancy no matter how many procedures are done.

Welcome to the world of medical billing! Doctors can and will bill you for anything . Intern walk in the door and asks how you%26#039;re feeling - hello one hundred dollar medical bill (in addition to every other bill for every other intern doctor and resident who looked at you). When my twin were born they did a pathology exam of the placenta to determine of they were identical or fraternal - I didn%26#039;t ask for this test or agree to it. My insurance denied the bill for it and we got stuck with it. So basically you have to tell everyone before hand that you don%26#039;t want anything done w/o your consent. Next time I go into the hospital I am saying up front that no interns are allowed to examine me or my children!|||If you don%26#039;t feel like you can talk to your doctor, go to another doctor for a second opinion. He or she will be able to give you some insight as to what is procedure and possibly what your current doctor%26#039;s intentions were. Make it clear that you are not looking for treatment, but understanding. It should only cost a $20 co-pay if you have insurance.|||First of all, it is illegal for any doctor to treat you without your signed consent. If you didn%26#039;t sign anything he can%26#039;t charge you for anything. However what likely happened is you signed a document before you went in to see the doctor. That document would say that you are giving the doctor permission to treat you in the best way according to his judgement. However you never lose your right to refuse any treatment even if it means you could die. It is also your right to know what%26#039;s going on. Demand an explanation.



Also there are other doctors out there, if you don%26#039;t like your current one, go to another one. You have no obligation to stay with a doctor you don%26#039;t like.
