My wife has developed an Iatrogenic condition after Nasal surgery. We found a ENT specialist in OH that is willing to see her and treat her condition.
My question is that I read a couple of times that this doctor bills his patient for the procedure and says its not covered by Insurance. He uses Alloderm to bulk up the tissue in the nose to recreate proper air dynamics.
Alloderm is cadaver dermis and is used by other doctors for Nose repair and so forth. I am sure my insurance would cover the OR and the Anesthesia but perhaps not the Alloderm.
I read that he bills the patient because he does not want to submit a diagnosis that will give any leverage to sue another doctor for malpractice. I am not sure if this is true just read a few statements on the internet.
What is everyone's thoughts? I always try to check on things myself and will do my own research but looking for advice.
