I paid the bill through my bank and later received an explanation that the charge was for a certain treatement used by the physcian. I had a later appoint with the physician and asked him for an explanation. He confirmed to me that their billing department (he practices with him a very large group) had billed me in error. Ever since, I have been stoned-walled. I have tried to have my insurance company recover the money. I have tried any number of times via phone and in person and, as always I get stoned-walled.
Is there a way through small claims court that I can possibly get regress? Please advise how I should proceed. Thanks in advance.

I had the exact same issue with The Villages physician only I did not pay the fee. They charged me for a biopsy that I never had. I had to get the progress note from my record and read it to them before I could get the problem fixed. They have people with minimal education from one of the worst educated populations in the country doing coding and billing. All that said, it still took six months to get the charge off the bill.
