When Dr. Zachary Sussman went to Physicians Premier ER in Austin
for a COVID-19 antibody test, he assumed he would get a freebie because he
was a doctor for the chain. Instead, the free-standing emergency room charged
his insurance company an astonishing $10,984 for the visit — and got paid
every penny, with no pushback. The bill left him so dismayed he quit his job.
And now, after ProPublica’s questions, the parent company of his
insurer said the case is being investigated and could lead to repayment or a
referral to law enforcement. |
