Internet Crime Complaint Center
IC3’s mission is to serve as a vehicle to receive, develop, and refer criminal complaints regarding
the rapidly expanding arena of cyber crime. The IC3 gives the victims of cyber crime a convenient and
easy-to-use reporting mechanism that alerts authorities of suspected criminal or civil violations.
For law enforcement and regulatory agencies at the federal, state, local and international level, IC3
provides a central referral mechanism for complaints involving Internet related crimes.
The Better Business Bureau (BBB) system in the U.S. extends across the nation; coast-to-coast, and in
Hawaii, Alaska, and Puerto Rico. Since the founding of the first BBB in 1912, the BBB system has proven
that the majority of marketplace problems can be solved fairly through the use of voluntary self-regulation
and consumer education.
My girlfriend has a situation and we need your advice on how to proceed.
She is being billed for medical tests performed by a Pulmonary Specialist in October 2014 even though as of March 2015 she has not received the test results and when she calls to inquire gets a run-around from whichever office she contacts. Additionally, she just learned today that the physician she visited has left the practice. Her bill is now approximately $5,600.00. Part of the bill is due to tests she consented to yet hasn’t received results for, the other are for tests that she did not consent to nor possible since the proper body fluids were never drawn or collected to conduct the tests in the first place.
In Summary
She is being asked to pay a bill for test results she has never received and asks to pay for tests she doubts were even possible to conduct. Even if she receives the results now, they will be 6-months old and possibly irrelevant. If her condition has changed or progressed the next physician requires new tests.
We believe these practices are questionable and irresponsible at best or fraudulent and health endangering at worst. We are also left to wonder how many other patients are being treated this way and what actions can be taken to protect her.
We believe it is not right to pay for a product that hasn’t been received, and that the physician’s office has demonstrated a lack of good faith or intention to deliver.
Please advise.
Thank you,
John Scott Stevens
