further consultation on 7/**/2015, as the patient was unhappy with the appearance of the scars that the burns left her with. The patient explained to the doctor that she works in sales and as she uses her hands a lot, she would like to remove the burn scars. At this consultation, the doctor explained to the patient that he could excise the scars, but because this was not medically necessary and deemed cosmetic, it would be an out-of-pocket expense. We quoted the patient $3,000 for the cosmetic excisions. The patient agreed and paid $3,000 for 2 excisions of the burn scars on 7/**/2015.Due to a software error, this automatically generated an insurance bill. Our outsourced biller then submitted this to the patient’s insurance company, as she normally would with any insurance bill she sees. Unfortunately we did not catch this mistake that day until we received a payment in the amount of $1,178.30 on 9/**/2015.Upon noticing the billing error, our insurance biller contacted the patient’s insurance company on 10/*/2015 to retract the payment we had received from the Insurance Company. Reference number [redacted]. The patients insurance generated a refund letter which we received and have a copy of this letter on file dated 10/*/2015.We wrote a check in the amount of $1,178.30, dated 10/**/2015 and mailed this to the patients insurance company for the full refund.We have copies of all documentation and also verification that this check was cashed by the patients Insurance company.

In response to the patient’s complaint:1, At the patients second consultation, there was no blistering present, hence the doctor advising the patient that it would be cosmetic.
