[redacted] Dental Group sent a bill regarding unjust/unauthorized charges in my name due to notified, cancelled appointments resulting from medical issues
In March 2014 I received a "bill" totaling [redacted] (now [redacted] due to 'finance charges') from Hughes Dental Group stating charges for three missed appointments spanning between the dates of March 2013 to February 2014. The problem regarding these unauthorized charges is that the office was promptly NOTIFIED of the cancellations due to extenuating medical issues. As the single mother of a four year old child, I take my medical care seriously considering I am the sole provider for my son. With this in mind, I find it appalling that a medical professional, aware of the medical complications their patient was experiencing, would find it necessary to bill a mother for circumstances out of her control. I can provide documentation for several E.R. visits as well as two surgeries due to my medical illnesses that exemplify the severity of my issue. Not only did I miss the two appointments last year, but I was without income for several months due to missing work. I also had to take "incompletes" for the rest of the spring semester 2013 because of my painful, debilitating illness.

The missed appointment from February 2014 was due to both my four year old son and I being sick and on antibiotics. I also have receipts from the doctor offices, prescription receipts, and proof of my missing work to care for my ill child (who also during his short duration on earth has undergone two surgeries himself for sinus/ear problems that have required multiple ER visits and hospitalizations).

As a patient who was willing to drive over an hour (from my previous household address) to Dr. [redacted] because I believed his services were worth the time and money, I am extremely disheartened that they would feel it was appropriate to apply charges for circumstances out of my control. As a single mother, I do not have a lot of options for when my son or I are sick. We survive thankfully because of Medicaid and food stamps that help us to make ends meet. I work as an Internet and Marketing Manager, attend college at IPFW for Business (where I was maintaining a GPA of 3.8 although I had two surgeries), and care for my son ALONE without anyone who can help me with all of my responsibilities. Considering all of this, I refuse to let a business take advantage of people in my situation who are doing the best they can with pure intentions. I wanted to be at those appointments and tried to SAVE money so that I could be there. With constant oppression from society for women(and all single parents) in my position, who already suffer enough trying to be their for their children while putting their jobs on the line to care for them, the last thing a patient should have to worry about is whether a healthcare professional will penalize them MORE for uncontrollable circumstances.

Considering that I NOTIFIED the Hughes Dental Group office and communicated these medical issues to them, it is unjust to apply these surprise charges in my name. I can and will happily provide any necessary, requested documentation regarding ER visits, doctor visits, surgeries, and medications taken that made it impossible for me to safely drive to the three appointments with my preschool age child. My medical condition requires pain medication (at sporadic times, especially prior to my second surgery)that makes it irresponsible, and unreasonable to even consider operating a vehicle. Please REMIND Hughes Dental Group of the situations discussed. Thank you for your consideration and review of this matter.
