So, my OB/GYN told me to make an appointment a year from my last one after my postpartum checkup. When I called yesterday to do so, for my new pregnancy, I was informed there was a note in my file that says "Do not schedule appointments for this patient." I'm effectively banned from the clinic. A nursing student friend of mine says this is unethical (but since they are a private practice, they say they don't have to give me a reason) if they don't provide a reason.
I have no legal issues with them, my bills were always paid and they accept my insurance. My OB and I did not get along, so I was going to see the one in the office that did, but apparently, I'm banned from the entire clinic. This is the only clinic I have access too that takes my insurance.
Is there anything I can do? Specifically, is it wrong, what they're doing? And is there any way I can find out WHY they banned me? Don't they have a responsibility to offer me an explanation?
