That's what happened to me... I had an insurance and came to Dr Porter's office for the check out. Before he took any tests I ask them to check if my insurance covers them. He agreed and was supposed to take only two tests. When I got my bill it somehow came to SIX tests! I spent ALL my limit to cover them and still had to pay $150! I needed to go to doctor but I couldn't, because I had no coverage anymore! When I called him to find out what happened he was always busy and never called me back in about month!!! Then I called him again and it started all over again... His girl-assistant always said that she didn't have enough information, every time - I'll call you back in about 10 min... I'll call you latter. Tomorrow... And so on. Finally, when he realized that I wouldn't just leave it. He told her to explain me that those 6 tests are just 2 tests, he doesn't know why, but laboratiry separates them into 6. I called the laboratory and it was absolute lie, which is pretty illegal! Moreover, my mother had the same test that he took month before that, and she didn't have any additional tests! He simply lied to me hopping that I would say - Oh, well then ok... But when next day I came to his office with all proves, he simply ignored me. He knew I'd been waiting for more then 50 min and all what he did was talking to me through his poor girl. Then he came up with totally different lie - that I had pain and he had to take these test (still he didn't show up). Oh, now we got this! He opened the door and called another patient - and very rudely ask me to leave because he had no time for me and he wouldn't talk to me at all, and closed the door. Then he crossly and pretty loud told his girl that he was ok to pay the difference for one of the bills ($24) and he thought it would be fair! He charged me for almost $500 and now he generously offered to pay $24 and I left with no coverage when I needed medical help! He just riped me off! He didn't want to talk to me so I gave a piece of my mind about what they are doing there to that little poor girl - and he was staying there and listening behind the door!!! Is that the doctor you want to go to??? Shameless lia
