This is the second year in a row that my child's certificate of exemption for immunization was declined to be signed by both Dr. Rucker and Dr. Meehan last year. I requested counseling and a signature and was given an excuse of he clinic policy is that providers cannot sign certificates of exemption for immunizations I was never shown a policy. This denial has been in place since Optum took over Polyclinic. It is a disgrace and a disservice to outright refuse to counsel and sign a document that would allow my child to attend school. I'm very disappointed and I will be seeking care for my children elsewhere, where we don't feel judged and don't feel the need to seek outside care for documentation that legally our pediatrician should be able to counsel and sign! Again, this is a legal document in which a licensed healthcare provider should be able to counsel and sign. If Optum truly has a policy that does not allow clinicians to do their job but otherwise bill for this visit without addressing my main concern, I will be seeking care elsewhere. Both Dr. Meehan and Dr. Rucker have failed me in this aspect and so has Optum for creating policies that alienate patients/customers.
