Gil,
I don't think it's illegal for a doctor to not accept WC insurance cases or perhaps out of state WC. I know when I was trying to live in Fla. no one wanted to accept my out of state WC insurance.

There were even some practices that said they would (Pain Managment) but then turned me down at the last minute after going thru a bunch of red tape paperwork. The OSS offices just plain and simple turned me down as did Neuro docs.

Even here there are consultations with one doctor in a practice because he or she will not accept WC patients (or new WC patients) but someone in the practice will (usually they need to build up their clientele).

Don't you wish they would just at least call and tell you where you stand? I'd rather get the denial so I could move on mentally then to think someone has me on some list and just "wait"... I've heard TBI seems to keep people waiting a long time or at least I heard this in the past (like a year).

take care!
