I was in a motor vehicle accident in my home state of Connecticut over the summer. (I was hit from behind, so it was not my fault). Shortly after, I left for Upstate New York for grad school. I'm still having neck and shoulder problems, so my doctor advised me to see an orthopedist. I have been calling several and everyone is refusing to treat me because it's an out of state matter! What we have been doing back in CT was providing my medical insurance at my doctors visits...now we have collected most of the bills and are getting ready to submit them to the woman at fault's auto insurance. Her insurance told us that this would be the quickest way to get these matters taken care of. But no one in New York State will take my medical insurance because the injuries are related to a motor vehicle accident. They also said that they cannot accept the woman at fault's insurance information because it is out of state. Does this seem right? Is there any way I can get treatment up here?

First I'd contact the insurance commissioner's office in NY and CT and explain the situation. Second, I'd go see a neurologist. They have more experience with injuries to the neck as there are vital nerves and they are used to dealing with those nerves.
Good luck.

get a lawyer! They can provide a LOP {Letter of Protection} to a health care provider, so you don't have to pay, and the lawyer will submit the bills for you.
