In response to the patient's complaint, please note the following:
1- Our policies clearly state that the operating room time the patient is quoted for is our best estimate. Should the doctor need any additional time to safely complete the procedure, the patient is responsible for...
any additional hospital and anesthesia time. The patient clearly signed paperwork agreeing to this. We would be happy to share the paperwork with the Revdex.com should there be a need to do so.
The $150 hospital bill the patient received is a totally legitimate expense charged by either the hospital or the anesthesiologist group that is contracted by the hospital. We contacted the surgery center at [redacted] and they stated that their bills sometimes do not show up on the "[redacted]" portal. However, the patient must be advised that this is NOT a bill from the Bitar Cosmetic Surgery Institute and the institute is NOT trying to collect more money from her.
2- The initial Over-quoting the patient on the procedure by $1500 was a truly honest mistake on the practice's part. The patient realized this mistake 3 days after it occurred and when she called the practice, she was promptly refunded. Should the patient not have caught the overcharge, our bookkeeper, who does the books once a week would have caught it anyway and we would have refunded the charge.
Please keep in mind that our Institute abides by the highest standards of ethics both when it comes to patient care and customer service. Any false claims to smear the Institute's reputation will be handled accordingly.
We expect this issue to be resolved promptly. Should you have any additional questions, please contact me at [redacted] or via email at [redacted]@bitarinstitute.com
