Were you injured on the job in the State of Texas? Did you file a Workers comp claim? Did the insurance company's nurse ever tell you she HAD to go with you to one of your doctors appointments?
If you answered the last question yes. Then you have the right to tell that insurance company nurse to stick it!
I am such a worker. I asked my attorney if the company nurse could "force" her/him self to go into the exam room me or any one else, and he said NO. That is privleged information. That I knew. Patient and doctor information is strictly confidential and is protected by the courts. The insurance companies know this, they just try to bully the patients. It usually works, but DON'T let it. Stand up to them.
So, don't let them intimidate you by saying they have to go with you. NO THEY don't! They can discuss your condition with the doctor, if and only if you have signed a release, but that is the only way they can discuss anything with your doctor.
This is your right! Don't screw it up by letting the blood sucking insurance companies force you to do something that is NOT legal.
KNOW YOUR RIGHTS! If you don't, you will fall prety to them and then they win.
