That's against federal law. You should've reported them for that.

Oh, believe me, when you go to hospital staff about this problem, at very high levels, they can cite loop hole after loop hole. We had money to pay our own hospital bills (that’s what they didn’t like - we weren’t socialists). But we didn’t have money to retain attorneys.
Oh, yes, we complained. What we did manage to do was have a cover page placed in our son’s records denying access to any persons employed by or associated with the agency for which those women worked. A Ph.D. speech analyst on staff there (one of the people very kindly working with our son) took up our side on this and wrote several letters on our behalf. This brought a cessation to anyone contacting us.
This Ph.D. (the most learned on the whole team - he provided the information that told the surgeons the extent of work needed. This man made the (motion X-ray) videos of our son’s throat, palate and adenoid pad area, and had the knack of explaining the procedures to us in a way anyone could grasp. . . and most compassionate.) had once walked up on the socialists trying to question us. He shoo’d them off for us that time. I told him what they had been trying to do. He was NOT happy.
A little off-topic, but a good illustration of abuse of power.
Here in Pennsylvania, the DOT is examining driver license records to find people who have a CDL and a clean record. Then they send those people job offers to come work for the DOT.
If you are unaware, there is a driver shortage in the trucking industry. The commonwealth is under fire from the trucking industry for this tactic, but the officals all just shrug their shoulders and claim it is their privilege.
