I am being completely serious - call your insurance provider and ask for the credentials of the person who is denying your claim. They HAVE to give you that information, but most times won't because it's generally a high school education, maybe a little college. But they won't want to admit that it's a general dumbass trying to save their company money, so they should allow the tests.
My boyfriend has an enlarged heart. They had to stick a defibrillator in there. He's on the heart transplant list... good luck, I hope it isn't as serious as the doctor thinks :(
Contact your doctor and the billing department at the facility. They'll be able to work with you to hassle the insurance into paying the claim, but it may take awhile on your insurance's part. Remember that the billing department is most likely on your side and they'll fight for you. I work in medical billing myself and it's amazing to me how hard insurance works to NOT pay claims. They'll find the tiniest little thing.
I recently had to get an arrhythmia and murmur checked out (thankfully, mine is benign). Your primary care doctor should be able to order a 24-48 hr Holter monitor to at least check out the irregular heartbeat, and that would be covered by insurance. If it shows anything, you should have no problem getting an appointment with a cardiologist covered.
And if he used more certain wording and you didn't have problems, you or someone like you could sue him. Welcome to the world where blaming others is more important than self responsibility
go and tell him that
Malpractice suit anyone?
Don't take it out on the doctor, take it out on the insurance company. They're the ones at fault here.
having an enlarged heart isnt really that bad, i have one, juat sont over do it if you work. of it atarts to hurt stop moving and take deep breaths until it stops.
Don't worry about the money, money can't cure you anyway, just go with cash.

Try going in to see another doctor, a second opinion would be good in this situation anyway.
You mean your "doctor."
