"I had a dry eyes consultation with Dr. El-Sawy. He saw me for at most 5 minutes, did a cursory look at my eyes, and told me to use warm compressors. After I told him that I had already been using them for months, he questioned if I was telling the truth, and said “just use them longer then.” I said I was using them for 20 minutes in the morning and in the evening and went over the details of how I used them. He refused to believe me and was very impatient. A few weeks later, I received a $200 plus bill with the CPT code of 99204. After looking ip this code, I discovered that he had billed me for an appointment lasting between 45-60 minutes. I then called the billing office to dispute this code several times. Each time the billing office said they are just a contractor and that they reached out to the office receptionist about the dispute, but that the office was unresponsive. Their billing practice is likely fraudulent. If you used Medicare of Medicaid, I recommend looking carefully ...
at the CPT code they used and filling a complaint directly with your insurer about their billing practice. Clearly, they are up charging patients. Subsequently, I went to see other optometrists, who did much more thorough examinations, including flipping my eyelids, and diagnosed me with several specific conditions and carefully explained them to me, as well as additional treatment. Those appointments lasted about 30 minutes and were billed as 30 minutes appointments. "
