Central Ohio Primary Care billing located in Cincinnati Ohio changes Medicare and/or medical codes to read "routine" knowing in advance that Medicare will refuse payment based upon the code or designation "routine". Central Ohio Primary Care and/or the billing office thus can charge and collect anything they wish while by-passing Medicare assignment.
I visited my doctor and five months later learned I had a very large unpaid bill. The unpaid bill represented laboratory work done by a Central Ohio Primary Care facility. The work was all coded as routine and Medicare refused to pay any part of a bill marked "routine". The Dr. Said he corrected the coding, but the billing office refused to accept the corrections.
