I was referred there for a potentially broken finger. I asked if my insurance would cover it, they told me probably, but couldn't guarantee it. (Hint: no insurance covers this place, I will explain why shortly, so don't expect yours to). They quoted me about $300 if I had to pay out of pocket. That seemed a bit steep as I had brought my own x-ray and all they were doing was looking to see if it had broken or not, but since they said insurance would probably cover it I decided to take a chance, after all, worst case I was out $300. One of the worst mistakes of my life. The visit was no longer than 10 minutes, 5 of which was just idle chit chat waiting for Dr. Mehan to poke his head in so he could charge for his services too (even though he did nothing). The result was that it had broken 2 months ago but healed straight and there was nothing to be done. Over a year later I get a bill for over $4,500. They had waited so long to send it to me, so I couldn't contest it with my insurance. Despite many calls that I would not be responsible for that amount, they never lowered the amount. I refused to pay their ridiculous bill and decided I'd rather take the costly route of going to court (a strategy they bank on most people not taking because it is an expensive and frustrating option). In this process I did research and found numerous other people who had very similar problems with them as I did, with massively overpriced bills. Unfortunately, most of these people had neither the time nor the money to contest in court. I examined my bill in detail, to break down their charges. There was a multi thousand-dollar charge for a new patient, mine was about $2,000. And then in addition they charged for a medical procedure they did not do and for what they did do, they up-coded the procedure (which is charging for a more expensive code than what they should have). This is why insurance companies will not accept their claims, because they are fraudulent. Well after about 2 years of fighting with them and a lengthy court battle they finally agreed to settle for the $300 they quoted me. I agreed to pay that because, unlike them, I was a person of my word despite the fact that they cost me years of frustration and over $2000 in attorney's fees (pro tip: Virginia generally does not award attorney's fees to the winning party, so even if you take them to court and win, you are still out hefty attorney's fees, which is the strategy they bank on to discourage people from contesting their bills in court). They tried to get me to agree to a non-disparagement agreement because they obviously didn't want my story to get out but I refused to anything that prevented me from speaking the truth (and I hope other people won't accept this either). Of course, my case was weighted heavily in my favor, their own medical records showed they did not do the procedures they were charging for (yet they still never backed down in charging me for them). I even contacted the FBI to have them review my case and they agreed it was probably fraud, but they didn't have the time and resources to go after non-multi-million-dollar fraud cases. A very frustrating system for me to work with, with little alternatives. But that is how they seem to operate; keep their fraud low enough to fly under the radar and make it expensive for people to contest and fight it, a very profitable business model. So, my word of advice for people reading is this. If you have a ridiculous bill from them, get a copy of your medical records, find the medical charge codes they are using, and make sure they are not charging for things they didn't do or up-coding to inappropriate codes. If they are making fraudulent charges, please take them to court. It will be the only way to make them stop fraudulent charges, by making it unprofitable via attorney's fees. If you are considering going to them, of course my advice is don't, obviously, but if you decide to, please protect yourself and get a quote ahead of time in writing and signed. read more
