You should know what services you received and the patient shouldn't have to know the codes to see what he was billed for .... That is not always easy and, with the kind of setup we have, there's little motivation to make the effort. Even if you make the effort, satisfaction is unlikely. You'd have to be obsessive to count the pain meds you were administered in a hospital. As for judging much of what you receive, you'd have to have a medical background. When you are feeling lousy, you aren't paying directly for anything, and the payer does not care, the incentive just isn't there. Did you complain to the provider's office?? I did not challenge the dermatologist. Didn't see the point after the payer showed no interest. I just reported my experience to the person who had recommended him, switched dermatologists, and registered the event as a lesson learned. Hopefully he lost two patients, not just one.
