Legal Question


Contacting Insurance Company - Will it hurt potential case?

I had a large fibroid tumor removed. surgeon ended up giving me 'surgical treatment' for ovarian cancer I didn't have. after surgery told me I had uterine cancer & wrote it on chart, put me on oncology ward, denied me HRT. Had another onocologist/pathology review records - no cancer, in frozen section taken during surgery, diagnosis should have been different. Removed healthy lymph nodes, omentum & possibly ovaries when standard treatment for fibroid is removal of uterus. Insurance was chargd 'cancer' procedures/bed. Want to write insurance company to tell them what happened. Will I ruin chance for case & insurance if I document findings to insurance company? want the hospital to give money back. Would I also lessen my case if I filed a complaint with the hopsital before seeking legal assistance?
