@ccarpenter Wow! I definitely would question not only the transportation company, but your doctor's office. And demand from each of them to see the paperwork that was filled out, stating to them you want a copy for your records. If it turns out your doctor completed information that is subject to HIPAA regulations, he could be in trouble if you press the issue with your county and state medical associations.
When I applied for a handicapped tag for driving my car, the local DMV gave me the forms to be completed by my medical office, then I made copies and returned them direct to the DMV. There was no sharing of information between parties.

I would bring this up with both the insurance company and your doctor.
