Doctor Refusing Care Based On Incorrect Test

Card image cap

I went in to get my medicine Monday (annual physical, turn you head and cough type stuff). My medication is considered a level 2 controlled substance.

I didn't care, because I ACTUALLY take my meds and don't sell them, but my test results can back negative.

I was super shocked and confused. My doctor is now refusing to prescribe me my medication and has refused future care. I have written proof of that.

It didn't make any sense. I have to take one of these tests once a year. Passed with a happy positive every year. So I dug up my previous test.

WELP. She tested for the wrong medication! Two medications are commonly prescribed for my condition, she tested for the wrong one, which still disturbs me because I should have to double check a doctor's work.

I contacted them immediately and told them of the error. They aren't getting back to me.

Policy is that my sample should be on file for 7 days so the clock is ticking there. I only have enough medication to get me to February 11th so the clock is ticking there.

What are my next steps? I'm really scared. I need this medication to function.
