No. You're absolutely not.

And re. the Julie Scott review added 4 days ago:
"I am writing because my husband is a patient with LMG and I specifically want to say how great the billing department is." LOL.

ORIGINAL REVIEW:
In the market for the worst medical experience imaginable? You've come to the right place. Wish I'd read all the awful reviews before going here. Note that most are related to their billing practices. This doesn't surprise me at all. Also the worst dermatologist appointment I've ever had. Stephanie Daniel was very unprofessional (thought it was very cute to call it a 'T&A' (though she said the words) check or something similar) and not at all thorough. Then the bill arrived. My insurance had only paid 40%, so I had an unexpected bill of ~$100. I haven't worked at all since fall of last year, and am a one-income household, so I called their office to see what could be done. They told me to send what is called, I learned, a "hardship letter." I'd had to do this with two other practices I'd seen while covered by this lousy insurance, and in both cases, those offices had written off or reduced the remainder based on TRUST - you know, not assuming your patients are liars who are pretending to be unemployed. I emailed them what they'd asked for, and got this response. "I received your email in regards to the financial hardship. I have attached the form that I need completed and sent back to me with all documents needed, (etc: 3 months of bank statements, last 2 years of W-2 s, and proof of expenses). Once I receive the information I will review it to see if you qualify for financial hardship." On the attached form, they ask for SSN, nearest relative contact info, how much you spend on food, electric, clothing, etc per month, permission to verify employment, run a credit check, and release "information related to this credit experience with them" (report you to the credit agencies), etc. Apparently, this office also believes they're a proctology practice because that's a lot of information for someone who's already going through the indignity of almost a year of unemployment. I will find a way to pay but it will come at the expense of food and medicine I need, and then I will tell everyone I know never to have anything to do with these complete scumbags.
