Business ProfileforHaydee Beatriz Docasar, M.D., PC

Dr Docasar's ****** has unethical and fraudulent billing practices.First, when I spoke to Dr ******* about getting on hormones during an ****** visit, she stated that I had to attend a hormone seminar to obtain hormone replacement therapy that would be billed as an ****** visit. This seems like double billing.I received an email on 6/20/2023 stating that I owe $225 for a claim that my insurance did not pay in 08/2022. I called the ****** and they sent me the claim paperwork and a "claim log" that stated that they electronically submitted the claim on 9/19/2022. My insurance carrier stated that I did not have to pay this claim because of the contract that they had with this provider and because the doctor's ****** did not submit the claim on time. When I called the ****** back to explain this, they stated, "we bill your insurance as a courtesy and it is your responsibility." On 6/27/2023, I received an e-mail that they canceled all of my upcoming appointments because of this unpaid claim (even though I was working with my insurance carrier on this). I called my insurance carrier again. My insurance carrier called Dr Docasar's ****** and asked them to resubmit the claim to see if it can be paid.on 7/19/2023, I noticed a $100 charge from Dr Docasar's ****** on my debit card without my authorization. I e-mailed the practice again and they stated that they billed my debit card so that the amount doesn't get sent to collections. I called my insurance company a 3rd time and they stated that I did not have to pay the bill again because it was not submitted in time. My insurance called the doctor's ****** and they stated that I signed something stating that I would pay the bill if insurance did not pay it. My insurance stated that since there is a contract with them this is not correct.The issues that I see here are that the doctor double bills for the same services, contractual agreements are violated, and my account being billed without my authorization.
