I would give 0 if I could. Went in Dr. Paul's a few weeks ago after I was in a car accident where both cars were totaled, and the 1st thing one of the owners told me( didn't give me her name, just told me she was one of the owners)was that I would have to give them a credit card to keep on file. This is after I have presented valid proof of top of the line medical, and automobile ins.Then she tells me that I will have to pay for all services before they are rendered! $414.00. Being that I was in severe pain, had gone through this whole process, and am scared to death of the E.R. I paid the bill, and went in for an exam, and some X Rays. I can't say that the P.A. that looked at me was bad, but The Dr. only did a 30second drive by. After all this I get a notice from my health ins. co. that Dr Paul's has submitted a bill to them for $965.37! Of course they gave my ins. co. a discount, but they still collected $249.77! I'm still waiting for a call from Dr. Paul to discuss this, because I'm pretty sure this is illegal. Our Medical System Is So Broken!
