Doctors are Entitled Scumbags, PROOF ! !

Post Reply New Topic

I posted a while back about a Neurologist I went to, to see if he could diagnose me for ASD.

To Recap: All he did was walk in the room, where I was waiting, sit down, I told him my symtoms (all classic ASD symptoms by the way, though he didn't flinch, it's like it was a contest of "f**k you, you don't have autism" vs. me trying to prove my case) (come to think of it, it was more like a judge in a kangaroo court rather than a doctor's office), and he spent 5 - 10 mins listening to my stories and my symptoms (of which I saw no sympathy for , in his eyes or facial expression, he was more like a lizard looking at me than anything) then at the end, after interrupting me and shutting me down and trying to change the story I WAS TELLING HIM , like I'm a child or a nobody or something,

he just say "You don't have autism",

citing stupid things like "I see you can look me in the eye" and "I don't see you fidgeting (stimming)" (I stim a lot , all day long, but I can compose myself if I have a meeting, appointment, or at work , duh ?)

So after 5 - 10 mins of just "watching" me cursorily, without doing any tests, without actually asking me any questions (he didn't ask me ONE QUESTION ! !), he makes his "scientific conclusion", what an ASS.

Here comes the Entitled Scumbag part:

I filed a claim against him with my insurance, because he didn't actually diagnose me , nor did any tests, nor ask me questions , or anything !
This doctor is now using my insurance against me to force me to pay him hundreds of dollars , FOR NOTHING ! !
For no service whatsoever.

If all it takes to be a doctor is sit in a room like an a**hole and deny everything and never ask questions or do any tests, WELL HELL, I CAN f*****g DO THAT ! !

I'll make a Mint , I assure you :>

Now he's sending me emails for "diagnostic tests" to my private email (should never have given my private email to that greedy quack) , I think he's trying to make it seem ( to the insurance people ) that he did give tests. Which he most certainly did NOT. So that he can collect that double-the-money cash prize.

what's double-the-money cash prize you ask ? lol
It's billing my insurance company, getting hundreds $$ that way (insurance won't tell me how much they're giving that quack), then sending me an insane bill for $400.

I feel like I've just been raped.

Seriously.

This medical "system" is severely screwed up.
Not to mention dangerous.

What can I do to get this Entitled, Greedy Quack off my Back ???????????????

Legally you may have to, but look over these and see if anything fits.

This may apply

3. Did I receive all of these services?

You probably are liable for the price of the office visit (which can be easily 150-300$) regardless of any testing done or not done. But he has to itemize the diagnostic tests and the bill can't be sent informally to your email it has to go through proper channels which will certainly involve regular snail mail as well as going to the insurance company. If he claims that he did X diagnostic test but he really didn't, you can dispute that (get a lawyer if you need to).

If it comes down to a legal dispute, he will have to show time stamped medical records with evidence of him having done X diagnostic test(s) and the results as well as exact name of test will need to be itemized.

Good luck and document everything yourself.

For the record, him emailing you won't hold up as evidence of him having done tests. All that needs to be in your medical records that are in the clinic's hard drive (and/or paper copy) and all that will have to be dated and time stamped. Electronic health records have their problems but one thing they do quite well is keeping track of when something was actually entered into the patient's record. Emailing you will count for nothing for him.
