US HealthWorks Medical Group Substantial overcharge on wrist guard Roswell, Georgia
Report Attachments
I visited the US HealthWorks clinic on Holcomb Bridge Rd in Roswell on August 6, 2012 and was diagnosed with a broken wrist. The doctor provided me with a wrist support. I then saw on orthopedist who placed my wrist in a cast for 8 weeks. After the orthopedist removed the cast, he provided me with a better wrist support than the one from US HealthWorks. The orthopedist charged $36 for the better wrist support. US HealthWorks billed me $112 for its wrist support, which can be purchased on line or in any drug store for $29 or less. I sent US HealthWorks a check for $36 with a letter explaining that I was ok with them making a profit of $7, but to bill $112 for something worth $29 was price gouging. They are still billing me for the difference and threatening my credit rating. They failed to respond to my telephone message, or to two letters.

Let us know how your protest worked out for you.
The medical field has historically charged large mark ups for their services and it's really not part of the deal for YOU to, retroactively, decide what profit they should make...according to you.
You may regret your rash action when your credit takes a hit.
I'd bet you REALLY get upset when you see the mark up on parts for your car repair at your local dealer. Just tell them after you get the bill, that you've decided they should only make a 20% markup instead of 100% or more..should be fun when you're then riding the bus home.
