The Critical Thinking Award goes to the practice manager who offered me the following options when…read moretheir user interface did not allow me to complete a new patient intake form prior to my appointment (even though I am not in fact a new patient): (1) spend over an hour driving to and from their office to physically pick up the form or (2) cancel my appointment, wait for them to mail me the form, and then rebook the appointment, in either case so that I could complete the form and BRING IT WITH ME TO MY APPOINTMENT. When I asked why I couldn't just arrive sufficiently early to complete it there (pointing out that neither of the above scenarios would result in the office receiving the form or any information on it until my appointment), they actually said, and I kid you not, "This is our policy - we cannot allow patients to complete the form in the waiting room." I mean, God forbid. So naturally I offered to arrive sufficiently early and complete the form in my car. Problem solved, right? Still a hard no. I am not one to complain but at this point I lost my patience. And they lost theirs.

Several weeks ago, I began experiencing pains in both of my feet that ranged from dull to sharp and worsened as the days wore on. After trying to wear insoles in my boots and swallowing Advil tablets to little effect, I made an appointment with Allegheny Podiatry Foot & Ankle. Once some x-rays were taken, Dr. Stan Bosta -- an extremely amicable, engaging, gentle, and warm fellow-- diagnosed me with arthritis in my feet as well as some foot fungus. He then wrote me a prescription for a medication to take away the pain and swelling, gave me samples of an antibiotic cream for the rash, and directed me to a nearby shoe store named Gordon's for some custom, premium orthotics with a coupon good for a 10% discount on my purchase. Before I left, Dr. Bosta even shaved a nasty, craggy callous off of my left hallux that had been nagging me for months, painlessly using a scalpel as if he were a sous chef casually peeling a potato. "It's gone!" I happily blurted out. "Yeah, how 'baht that?" Dr. Bosta replied with a Pittsburgh accent. "That thing was ugly too." In the 24 hours since my visit, I can feel a marked improvement in my comfort and gait. Dr. Bosta doesn't "putzy arahnd," as we say in Steel City.

The office took an xray of her foot and the doctor performed a procedure on the sole of her foot. The doctor did not address the bunion. In speaking with Tina , the billing agent for Greentree Foot and Ankle, she agreed that the doctor did a procedure, that did not involve the bunion, but because my wife mentioned her bunions, that is the way the claim has to be coded, I told Tina, that the claim needs to be resubmitted, with different codes, to reflect the actual procedure. Keep in mind, the doctor did not perform a procedure on the bunion, but on the sole of my wife's foot. Tina's response was that resubmitting with different codes would be fraud, because bunions came up in conversation between my wife and the doctor.
