[quote=Anonymous]Something similar happened to my 83 year old mother - this is in Delaware. She got a $200 fee because the doctor “discussed a preexisting condition” with her. My mom couldn’t even figure out what this was because she says they didn’t really talk at all. Also, the only thing she has is hypertension, which a cardiologist handles. My mom called to complain, and at one point in the conversation she said the phrase “billing fraud”. The practice manager deemed this to be ”threatening language” and fired my mom from the practice! Now she doesn’t have a PCP. Although I’m not even sure what the heck her PCP was doing for her anyway. I am a doctor, but am hospital based, and I have to say that I have no idea whatsoever what goes into my billing. It’s done by Epic and AI, and I’ve tried to fix errors but it will automatically revert back to what that system thinks it should be. It’s all broken and crazy.[/quote]
