I went to a doctor for a yearly checkup. At the end of the visit , she sent me to the lab for blood work. She knew that in her office group, that these would not be filed as part of that check-up, and would be billed separately. They seemed routine to me , so I went to the lab and had them...

First...thanks so much for replying. I am not claiming that she put the wrong code. My complaint is that I was there for my yearly check-up. She sent me for blood work that she did not consider as part of that and knew that it would be treated differently for billing. I didnt ask her to...

OK, but I am not sure how to do that. What I mean is, does it have to be written in a certain manner, or documented in some way, or can I just send her lawyer a letter? I don't need an expert witness in this case, because it is not about a medical procedure that would have to be explained ...

Also, the doctor's lawyer has requested that I submit within 7 days, a certification of expert witness opinion according to Va Code 8.01-20.1. I dont see how this applies to my situation. The case doesnt involve medical procedures that would have to be explained, it involves the doctor...

I am from Albemarle County, Virginia

Va. Code 8.01-20.1 ?? HELP ! Can someone let me know either way, if there is or is not something preventing doctors from ordering unnecessary tests, etc . I posted something, and can't tell if no one has replied because they just haven't or because there is no such regulation . Also, I...

Is there some type of law, regulation, statue, anything, that would require that a physician inform a patient when they are doing something that would cause them additional billing than would normally be expected. For instance, if I am there for a routine visit, and they order tests that may...

I have a more thorough explanation of my claim under Trial/ Bill of Particulars, but briefly, I had a scheduled routine visit with my ob/gyn and at the end she ordered blood work to test for things that seemed normal for a rountine exam to me, but without telling me, she coded them as...

I have a new twist to my case now. I sent a bill of particulars explaining everything. The lawyer has now sent me a notice for "certification of expert witness opinion at time of service process" Va. Code 8.01-20.1 . The doctor and I were the only 2 people in the office at the time. (a...

OK...got it that time. Having a "blonde" morning. Thanks again, and here's hoping for a farm with a tractor, even.

I'm a llittle confused...are you not allowed to give me specific information? I dont know what to do about lost wages for days I had to go to court...can I claim them in my suit?

In my original post, I listed questions concerning what types of facts I should or should not include, along with a few other questions...these original posts are what I really need answered. If you could refer to these, it would be the type of help I am looking for on this website. Thanks...

First...thanks very much for answering so quickly. I have only 10 days to get this to the court and the defense attorney's office. It says.." in numbered paragraphs, the plaintiff should write down the facts that he/she intends to prove in court. The details include the dates, amounts, and...

I have to complete a Bill of Particulars in a case where I am suing my doctor. I had a routine (yearly check-up) visit scheduled, and some of the tests she did during that visit she did not consider as part of that routine visit ( I didnt request her to do them, and she didnt inform me that...
