My husband was seen by a PA for an injury to his elbow. The PA was fine, he sat about 4 feet across the room from him and watched as he displayed range of motion, ability to bend extend, lift, etc
The physician assistant at no time physically touched him, but to shake his hand on his way in and out of the room.
We have received a bill for $226 for closed treatment without manipulation in addition to his copay. We have contacted their billing department on 4 separate occasions and received multiple conflicting reasons for this bill.
We have left 3 messages with the billing manager and have not been contacted once. We will absolutely be reporting this to our insurance, Medicare, and the better business bureau. I have worked in the medical field since 2007 and this is fraudulent billing. It is clear that they are unashamed of this enough to disregard the courtesy of a phone call to even pretend otherwise.
You will be better off absolutely anywhere else.
