Wow, did the doctor explain why he refused to treat you at the time? Are you still seeing the same doctor? Who is ordering and looking at all the tests you are having done now? Will they refer you to an ID doc?

This process can be complicated depending on the kind of insurance you have - some plans allow patients to self-refer, others do not, still others require all referrals to go through your primary or preferred provider. But if the RMSF is in your medical records, someone should be able to get you the help you need.
