Absolutely.
The doctor-patient relationship isn't established before the doctor accepts you as a patient (prior to going into an exam room). As such, the doctor has the same right not to do business with you as any other business proprietor. Only in true life threatening emergency situations (and that only in some states) is he legally obligated to provide service.
As an aside, there's a legitimate reason your doctor demands some form of legal identification. Oftentimes this ID provides the only means of tracing a patient. People using another person's insurance card (fraud) or a forged card is something that happens more than you realize.
In my practice, submitting a legal ID isn't mandatory for care. But if this is something the patient chooses, we insist on payment in full, in cash, at the time of service.

I will help if you clarify your question, what do you mean? If you are asking if you had a positive pregnancy test and if the doctor refused you care because you had no insurance? I strongly doubt the doctor would tell you your not pregnant unless it was true. Doctors may refuse you care if you have no insurance, unfortunately. But I don't think they would be inaccurate. Try a different doctor or a clinic so you don't worry. Joymaker rn
