Lipid problems are very common in lupus patients, so early on they kept checking it. Eventually one of the Rheumatologists said to me, “Your lipids are so good, that they’re in the normal range for a Japanese guy. That’s very unusual.” I think they’re checking it every 5 years now. They’ve given up.
That’s another comorbidity that they can’t use in a Phamily revenue generation scheme. {{ LOL }}
I got a $163 bill from the doctor’s office for a 20 minute telephone call with a medical assistant/receptionist (i was on the call for maybe 5 minutes), to remove the 4 diseases that I didn’t have from my “care plan”. Medicare paid $149 for this ‘service’ and they’re billing me for $13.60.
Issue them an invoice for $1600, $400 for each erroneous entry you were obligated to fix. Deduct their $13.60 fee leaving them owing you $1586.40. If they don’t pay, turn it over to a collection agency.
