My lil stay when I broke the ribs was $6500. I had to pay $2600. The doctor charged me $1040 . I saw him maybe 15 minutes. All they did was take xrays say you have no broke ribs, heres a scrip for oxycodnes see ya later. I watched tv for 4 hours in the er room. What a scam............Problem with all this, I had 3 broke ribs. 4 days later i went to the Everett clinic and they found the broke ribs, cost me $175........................
NEMO - did you call the billing department? I have been having more success going that route.
Forget about suing, doll face, as these doctors stick together like glue.
My uncle was an attorney. He never took these cases because he couldn't find another "witness" to support the injured party's case.
I worked there from age 16 - 26 in the summers and holidays.
I know this for a fact.
First you give some "lady" (and I say that hesitantly) some dough just to get rid of her. Let's not discuss the amount.
I am having some issues with these doctors right now.
I have tried everything and trust me, I am relentless.
Billing has been helpful.
The local newspapers will carry your story, but first tell the doctors that you're going to have your situation printed.
They may make a deal.
"let's make a deal."
