I don't know where you are located, but in many places, individual doctors have the right to refuse to see patients in office for a wide variety of reasons. A skin condition which may be contagious to staff and other patients is among them.

When you say he is hospitalized for medication non-compliance, I sense there may be a complicated history here. This complicates the situation even more.

Why is he not permitted visitors? Is his skin condition being treated while he is in hospital? Can you get his permission to speak with the hospital social worker and make a plan for followup care?
