Its going on 2 months and the doctor's office still has not send in the medical records for the person applying for insurance to the insurance company.
Is there a law that can make these doctors send in the records in a certain period of time?|||AS mentioned your local state/provincial medical board will step in if neccessary. There is no law, but most medical associations mandate that this type of thing is supposed to be completed within 1 month, unless they need to dig for more information.
What you can do is contact the doctor and threaten to sue them. The doctor may be the only thing that stands in the way of you and your family receiving thousands of dollars in insurance money and if he/she doesn't get that form in you will seek legal action against him/her to compensate for that lose if the application is cancelled.|||You need to keep bugging them. Yes they do have to send the records in a timely manner.
If they don't you can report them to the State Medical Board - then they have to take care of it.|||The person applying should be calling the doctor's office on a regular basis and maybe even show up at the office to inquire. The doctor needs to understand the liability they're taking standing in between the person and their insurance.
