Can an internal medicine doctor diagnose Hypereosinophilic syndrome?
I have had a severe full body rash for 8 months and swollen inguinal lymph nodes for 3 months. I had an ultrasound and biopsy on my lymph nodes and they said its not cancer. My allergist thinks I have hypereosinophillic syndrome (HES) and sent me to a hematologist. I dont have a gene mutation and was told by my allergist I need a bone marrow biopsy to be diagnosed. They took 3 weeks to review my case and told me they would not see me because they do not diagnose or treat anything to do with high eosinophils. This clinic has the only hematologists in my insurance network. My PCP and allergist say they cant do anything else, and that a hematologist has to diagnose me. Should I see an internal medicine doctor? Any other way to get diagnosed? I have never been so miserable and desperately need help

An internal medicine is a doctor who only treats adults. It is worth a try. However, have you seen a dermatologist since you have this rash?

Can you appeal to your insurance to see a hematologist out of network?
