Complaint Review: First Choice Emergency Room

I visited First Choice Emergency Room on April 20, 2012.  I paid a $100.00 deductable and allowed a doctor to shine a light into my ear.  The docor told me I had an ear infection and gave me two presctiptions.  One for the pain and the other was an antibiotic for the infection.

The same day,  I visited my doctor.  At that time I was told that I did not have an ear infection, but I did have a fungus in my ear.  My doctor gave me some drops and cleaned my ear which solved my problem.

My insurance company paid First Choice $586.46 on top of my deductable.  Thats $686.46 for someone to shine a light in my ear and give me a lie and pills that I did not need.  You would think I had already been ripped off right?

I received a letter from my insurance company informing me that I was over charged.  Days latter I received a call from First Choice stating that I had an outstanding balance of $300.00

I Disputed this bill with them and later discaoved that they reported such to the credit reporting agencies. 

I encourage eveyone to keep in mind that First Choice Emergency Room is a rip off!
