Business ProfileforOhio ENT & Allergy Physicians

****************

I appreciate your help regarding my questioning of the billing and office documentation.  While it may appear that the ov notes cover the ***** code most of the note is false.  Most of the procedures were not performed during my brief ov with Dr. *** ****.  The ov was a pleasant experience and I scheduled the surgical procedures.  I have since cancelled via VM for *******; ###-###-####

I trust I signed a financial agreement but that was not included in your fax/ email via barracuda. The up coding is an issue but not as big an issue as the fraudulent documentation.  I have no desire to escalate these concerns.  I would appreciate a reduction of my balance as a patient who indicated he was self pay and was refused.

I am a licensed chiropractic physician who has to document and bill the same way your offices do.  I am all too familiar and confirmed with Dr. **** ****** and his office manager that the Medical Doctors have the same requirements.

I cancelled my procedures due to the billing dispute provoking a 2nd opinion with Dr. ***** **********.  His fees are $200 less for the same procedures as 9/21/23 and he decided to provide a scope as a professional courtesy.  I am grateful the 2nd opinion cost me less than $150. An opinion I did not think I needed but was serendipitous He and his PA spent much more time with me and he informed me there are only 3 ENT’s in Central Ohio qualified to perform the procedure I need.  He had nothing but positive praises for Dr. *** **** and he informed me another doc in your group is qualified and actually performed the same procedure on him in the past.  I believe it is the facial plastics specialty.

I believe a fair fee for the services provided should not exceed $311. Please send a revised/ corrected bill and I will pay it promptly. 

Sincerely,

****** ******** **** *****
