Business ProfileforThe Dermatology Specialists

Charged $350 for a 10-minute consultation. I called billing to find out why. Their staff couldn't explain why I was charged so much or provide an itemized reason - The consultations can be $250 - $350. I asked why I was charged the highest in the range, billing acted like I was inconveniencing them and kept repeatedly saying the reason for $350 varies. I kept asking what does that mean, but no explanation was received. I had to eventually say a customer calling the billing dept to ask about a bill shouldn't be a problem. They wouldn't provide an itemized receipt or explanation but eventually sassily started naming off my chart (so an itemized receipt was possible?) of recommended procedures and visit reason by the physician assistant, which made it a "level 4" consultation (what is a level 4?) - aren't consultations just a consultation if nothing was done? also, it's quite rude to just start aggressively listing out procedures a doctor recommended - almost like she's going off on me. The other 1-star ****** ******* and **** ******* list similar experiences with billing. The billing department overcharges, lie about prices, and doesn't work with the customers.
