Q: Hello. I have been waiting for a tonsillectomy for over 2 month now.
They have failed to provide me with information about what had to be done in order to fix a mistake with my insurance and were giving me misleading information. At the end of all, it appeared to be that someone made a mistake and my insurance was wrongly put in. I have been waiting for a long time, and symptoms which are harming my well being had been developing over this time. I still do not have a certain date for my surgery, and Im fearing that it might take much longer till it is certain. Can I sue them?
A:
more facts needed.
during covid, everything is upside down.
if they did anything wrong it sounds like damages might be less than $10k.
thus you could consider small claims court.
however, I would write out a demand before doing anything and after seeing a lawyer.
A: Unless you develop some significant damage from delay in your tonsillectomy, you have no case. Further, if you need the tonsillectomy now, put it on your credit card and then seek reimbursement from your insurer. You are under no obligation to wait for your insurer.
