Re: HELP!!!! I GOT SCREWED BY MY CLINIC!!!!!!

[Guest guest]

I really DON'T think it's legal. Perhaps the AMA would

know?? I would cancel your card maybe, until you can

get this straightened out! Or dispute the charge with

your credit card company. Do you have a contract

signed with him that allows him to do this??

Hi Jaana,

I've never heard of a doctor's office charging for refilling a perscription. That's ridiculous! My doctor has a refill line and I just call that and they fax the pharmacy. This really boggels the mind. I know your stuck with it because that's where you get your meds.

Can't you send the email from the doctor to the woman who's giving you so much grief? Do you have an appoitment any time soon that you could take the email into her?

I hope this can be remedied soon. I know what it's like to have something like this hanging over you. And I bet they won't do another refill until you pay, right?

Hi Jaana, again,

Do you qualify for any assistance? What about the free medication that the drug companies have? I would check into it.

I wouldn't think so. Although, when my father was still

alive, he had heart attacks all the time (he had 10 arteriograms -- the

little balloons they use to re-inflate an artery -- in a 3 year period).

He had a cardiologist, and one time he was hospitalized with a heart

attack and received an $80 bill from his cardiologist, who was clear

across the country and not available the entire time Dad was in the

hospital.
