I do not like attorneys but this might be a good time to consult one. It should not cost much.
Your post-I suspect that what you are not saying is that you have signed such an agreement and now have an issue with completed surgery.
I'm not an attorney but I seem to recall seeing something about arbitration. If, I recall it was against arbitration and as it was explained the claimed arbitrator is actually PAID by the doctor and or the insurance company. FAIR? You are a one time injured
person. The arbitrator wants to keep their job and the persons signing their paycheck.
You've not asked but I had my cataracts done by Dr Wehrly of Lake Eye Associates just over a year ago AND I AM THRILLED WITH THE RESULTS.
