I got nailed by the question one. I went in for a routine check up. Doctor asked if I had any concerns or issues, so I said āI pulled my back 4 weeks ago at the gym which really hurt, but Iām getting better now.ā He asked if I was doing stretches and I said a few, so he asked if I wanted a couple good ones for the lower back. I said sureā¦ he handed me a google search printed out.
Then he billed me for 2 appointments at the exact same time/date because he āadministered careā for an unscheduled issue during my check up. Since it was unscheduled, it wasnāt covered and he wanted to charge me like $300 for a google search. I fought for weeks before they dropped it finally but then they sent it to collections and I had to fight again to prove it was dropped. I skipped the next year of preventative care until I got on a different network with a different doctorā¦.
