Through my divorce, my ex neglected to pay an orthopedic bill. And when I needed to take my son, to the orthopedics, they couldn't accept him without paying that bill. Had to deal with the creditor, and then submit to the orthopedics, some code number, so their office could remove that hold and accept him, into their practice. It was done within a matter of hours.
Is it, a code, from the collections department, that is holding you back? If the bill is paid, and they accept your insurance, I cannot see why they'd not accept you.
Can you call your insurance company and get a list of approved doctors? I get that some may not, currently accept new patients, or their is a wait period, sometimes up to three months.
It's disheartening to imagine you cannot be seen by a doctor. How about the ER?

She's tried many places but they also "aren't accepting new patients". She went to the behavioral health place where most of the therapists are and they had a bulletin board in the lobby showing who was accepting new patients. She called them and talked to some people at the place itself but they were saying "they'd get back to her" most of them haven't called back and it's been 2 and a half weeks now though they said within 24 hours they'd get back... It might be my anxiety or fear of rejection but something definitely feels wrong about all this. We have insurance, there are places that take our insurance (a-lot of them) and yet none of them can call back or accept any of us as patients? How am I supposed to get help, none of the doctors.therapist that are not associated with this group accept our insurance and we don't have very much money at all. Is it really okay for them to not accept us because we had back up bills before (that have been paid in full now)
