I was supposed to have a nuclear stress test 2/14/17. I had already had an ekg and something didn't look right, so on to stress test.
Got there at 7am was about 8:30 when they came for me. They put a needle in back of my hand and injected radioactive isotopes, wait another hour and put me in something that looked like a mri and took pictures of heart. Another hour they took me took the stress room.... The Dr said she had to get an at rest baseline. She started running a print out and looked alarmed, ran it again and said I can't do this test without your Dr seeing this. I had pvcs.
So I went to Drs office and he said he wanted me to have an echocardiogram at an affiliate hospital that had a cardiac unit. Made my day.
Going to have it done tomorrow. Kind of scared.
The whole point of this novel is they have billed me for the test they didn't complete.
Test was $2377.00. insurance co. Allowed 1580.00 and paid $389.00 leaving me owing $1188.00 for no results. Do I have a leg to stand on protesting the full amount?
I have googled and can't find any answers. So I am looking to this vast collective of knowledge for advice or personal experiences
