file a complaint with the Florida Attorney General's ofc.
Florida Attorney General - Citizen Services Contact Form seems to me this is taking advantage of a senior citizen and they have a dept. that handles tha
of note is that Premier Medical just had to pay a fine: THE VILLAGES — Premier Medical Associates, a private medical practice in The Villages, agreed to a $750,000 settlement this week to resolve civil claims that it falsely billed federal programs for services “that were not medically necessary and reasonable.”
sounds like they found a way to get the patients to pay for the services that weren't medically necessary and reasonable. I would definitely complain to the Florida Attorney General as this seems to be exploiting a senior.
you should have been told they wouldn't be paid for....I recently had tests ordered at Quest and they always tell me before they do it if something may not be covered.
you might just call Premier and tell them you are going to file a complaint unless they cancel that charge.
