Legal Question in Personal Injury in Maryland

Doctor vs Patient

A doctor said she would write of a balance of a charge for moldings made for my feet, since the insurance company covered the majority of the cost. The Doctor since left the firm, now the firm is not honoring the write off and is refusing to contact the doctor to get proper paper work needed to write off the charge. The Doctors left on bad terms. I contacted the doctor that left. She sent proper paper work for the firm to write off the charge, “again”. The firm knew that the doctor was going to send them another ''letter'' and copies of paperwork needed for the write off. But the firm thought they could get me to pay the bill before the other doctor sent them another letter by sending this ridiculous charge to a Collection Agency. This firm is refusing to corporate or communicate with the doctor that left to straighten this out. By doing so is hurting patients. I feel the doctor’s office is not being honorable and falsely sending items to collection agencies to harm the patience creditability on purpose. Something they knew should not have been sent in the first place. The firm is placing all their anger towards the doctor that left towards her patients.

Re: Doctor vs Patient

I suggest you write the collection agency disputing the charge. If you have a copy of the paperwork the doctor sent to the "firm" for writing off the charge, include that with your letter. They may decide not to pursue it, but if they do you can defend yourself in court.
