Do I have a legal case for malpractice or insurance fraud.
Asked in Burbank, CA - 4 months
I broke my nose during a sport activity, went to ER and then to a surgeon to repair the broken nose. Paid money upfront to the surgery center per surgeon request and billed my PPO insurance. My insurance covers all medical necessities procedure. On the day of the surgery, during the time I was out, the surgeon decided that he can not do the procedure and he changes the pre-operative paper work. According to his paper work and op report, he has manipulated the bone and sprayed with nasal solutions. The repair of fracture bone never took place. The surgery center has billed and collected the fees plus a fee for his services (all together). As result I have deviated symptoms, have headache and health related issues. Do I have a case.

As for ripping off insurance companies, should a doctor bill for services NOT performed, the loss would be that of the insurer. I would bet the insurer would love to know about it.
