It's unfortunate that you are right and that I am also right at the same time. That is the healthcare climate we live in these days....where you don't know what you should and should not tell your doctor.

8 years ago I told my doctor I was a smoker...so he erroneously put me down as an opiate addict. I never used a recreational drug in my life. My health insurance company dropped me. It also caused a problem with my employer.

When I confronted my doc about it, he refused to change it because he said that I told him I was addicted to opioids, which is why it was on my record. In other words, he was claiming infallibility on his part. :/

I had to get a lawyer to get my doctor to change his records.

However, the best advice here is to never take medical or insurance advice from a forum lol.
Wow that is horrible and very unfortunate. Sorry to hear that. I'm glad your attorney got it fixed and hopefully got you a few dollars for your inconvenience.
