Can a Medtronic Rep check a patient Ins. before surgery by a doctor?
No. The surgical procedure should be what the surgeon books it as. Meaning the surgeon plans on using instrumentation or allograft whether the patient has insurance or not. The only logical reason the rep is looking to see if the patient has insurance is exactly why you think he/she is: suggesting or implying the patient needs more of his/her product. Unethical. They should not even be looking in the chart.
Can a doctor refuse care after he has done surgery?
The entire process should be made clear before the surgery is done. Sometimes the surgeon will only do the surgery and the family doctor or another doctor is responsible for all followup. Such a procedure should be made clear to the patient before the surgery. It is important that a family member or other person go with the patient to surgery to obtain follow up information. Frequently the patient is dazed and does not understand followup instructions. You should have written instructions for followup care that you received following surgery. That should tell you which medical personnel you are to use.
