Yesterday at school while i was playing volleyball, i grabbed the jersey of a teammate while he was running and it pulled my ring finger out and it was injured somehow. I went to the hospital and they put a splint on my finger and said i had damage to the tendons in my finger and refered me to a orthopedic doctor. turns out he's does'nt take our insurence. After some reaserch, i found out i had suffered Jersey Finger, where my FDP tendon was severed from the bone. At first i wasn't sure but them i saw a picture of the FDP tendon and it was right under the last digit of the ring finger, exactly where my finger is bruised plus,just like jersey finger, i can't close my fist completly and my ring fingers last joint won bend. To make it wrse i found out surgery within 7 days is rucial to avoid permenent injury, but the doctors they refferd me to wont take my insurence. Please Help,What should i do?

Contact your insurance carrier and get a list of the approved orthopedic specialists under your current plan. Fax that list to your doctor's office and tell them they need to refer you to one of those specialists.

Call the hospital, see if they can refer you to a doctor who carries that insurance. Be sure to write down who you talked to there. Also call a doctor referral service in your phone book if the hospital cannot help you.

maybe this isn't as powerful as prayer, but...
If it happened on school property - your school should be able to cover it. If it was the opponent's fault, try to prove it. Else, try to find the hospital that does take your insurance.
In the worst case, there are non-profit hospitals who will do it for a very small fee.
Hope this helps.

Did you have sports insurance at your school?

Try to go to the clinic and see what they can do if they can do anything.
