Anyone ever feel that all they want is money and don't really care about anything else including your health and billing properly?
I went in a year ago for an ear infection and technically every time in owed a 25 dollar co-pay per office visit. Well, the Dr. wanted me to come in for follow up visit Wednesday and Friday same week that I went in on a Monday. I paid 25.00 co-pay both Monday and Friday since they actually did something. The Wednesday office visit the Dr. looked in my ear for 15 seconds and said, 'yep, clearing up see you again on Friday.' That is ALL! Took me 40 minutes to drive there and 40 minutes back wasting another 15 bucks in gas money. Do you think the Dr. has a right to bill for an office visit at 110 bucks and I need to pay the 25.00 co-pay all for a 15 second look into my ear that 2nd follow up visit on a Wednesday without doing anything else that really wasn't needed in the first place? They sent me to a collection agency all for 25 bucks I refuse to pay.
Similar thing happened with my dentist not applying three payments of 94 bucks to our account EVER that I have record of they got on my credit card statements over 2 years ago for my daughter's braces. They also are charging us 270 bucks for our daughters baby teeth extractions that were done 1 month AFTER (not before) her braces were put on that we already paid 3,000 dollars in full for already OVER 2 YEARS AGO that I just found out 1 month ago they NEVER billed our dental insurance for which would pay all except 20%. They cannot go back and bill our insurance if over 15 months old and don't you think either the baby teeth pulling 1 month after braces put on our daughter would be covered under the 3 grand we already paid for braces or they would've done the right thing since they knew the baby teeth were getting loose and needed to come out and pull the baby teeth first BEFORE braces were needed NOT after braces put on 1 month prior? I'm not going to pay that either!
Just ticks me off these Drs. and Dentists think they can get rich off the general public.
