Fraud, fraud, fraud. My mother had braces put on my son by this orthodontist, about 6 weeks before open enrollment started at my office (my office has orthodontics and my intent was to bring him here, as I also get an employee discount as soon as the benefits were available). My mother had my son for a couple of weeks due to myself becoming very I'll for a bit and not wanting to expose my son, and come to find out she had braces put on on my child without my consent - I was upset and when I called the office after I found out, she brushed me off as it being "nice" that someone wanted to put braces on my son without my knowledge or consent, and Tracy at their office assured me that even though they had my insurance info (which is ONLY accessible via my SSN) that my mom called and said no don't use it to just charge her (my mom).... Fast forward a couple of months, had to establish at a new orthodontist to finish out that she started - and now I'm having to pay $4500 + oral surgery fees for this kids braces, and the new office broke the news to me that linaker's office had used approx 780$ of the benefits, which I'm pretty sure is insurance fraud because I definitely did NOT give the ok for this! Opened police report to investigate the fraud and what can be done about a medical professional treating my child who I have 100% legal and physical custody of, and they requested me to provide a copy of everything that was signed etc, by my mother, so we could determine whether the charges would be civil or criminal.... And this office literally will not release my sons records without charging me $50 I never gave them permission to even HAVE medical records with them, and they're here trying to charge me for copies to provide the detective. I just cannot. read more
