Ortho SC

I went to see Dr. Chambers for issues with my shoulder. I had 2 previous surgeries on it a couple years ago when I lived in St. Louis. Dr. Chambers wanted to do an MRI so the request was sent to my insurance company. It came back denied because the insurance company needed a peer-to-peer review, meaning a phone do discuss why I needed the MRI. Well, Dr. Chambers never called for the review with the insurance company. When I called to find out why he hadn't reached out to the insurance company, I was told that Dr. Chambers doesn't do peer-to-peer reviews. So, he either didn't want to treat me and that was his way out, or he really doesn't do any peer-to-peer reviews and loses patients because of it. An MRI typically requires a review with the insurance company. I don't believe that Dr. Chambers doesn't do these. I think, based on his diagnosis that my pain is very difficult to treat, he didn't want to mess with me. Either way, I now have to find a new doctor and have them order an MRI.
