Want to know some bs? My cardiologist scheduled me for an appointment on Christmas eve and now im arguing with the staff.

When the appointment was made I double checked and asked if they were for sure open that day. I was told yes. When I showed up lights off,doors locked nobody else in the parking lot. I called and called no answer and left a voicemail. What happens to me? I get a no show put onto my online chart when I did show.

I called today and told them and I was told they were closed. I asked why I was told differently and why did nobody reach out and catch the mistake before the holiday. I said I wasn't making another appointment and I wasn't paying any no show fee either. I wanted my test results over the phone because I was not wanting to make a new appointment.

I sent over a screenshot of the notice in my online chart as proof.

This isn't the first time I've had to fight with the staff. A few years ago when I had my heart attack and was out on medical leave I had to fight them on filling out paperwork because it was messing with my livelihood. Never mess with someone's money and job.

I hate having to get mean but I'm not taking the fall here.

I would remind them they are committing Insurance fraud and if they charge you you will act accordingly “report them to the government for committing insurance fraud and charging you for an appointment when the office was closed that day”

I would also remind them by neglecting their duties regarding your heart attack is neglect and abuse and you can report them to the board of your state for neglect and abuse

Also if you can switch doctors do it ( I know some places have unrealistically long waiting times for new patients) and leave some honest reviews

@Fluffybull I hate having to be the bad guy

@BeastK You're quite right standing up for yourself. When we thought my husband's skin cancer came back the doctor wouldn't even give him an appointment until I bullied the receptionist into giving me the email address to send photos to. Then the doctor told me I shouldn't have done that so she got a curt email! He got an appointment that week and is now being treated 👍. You do what you have to do. 💪

@BeastK You are not the bad guy in this. You were given an appointment on that day, you went to it and seen that they were not there. I would have been very upset myself about that. Maybe you should report those people for doing you like that.

Sorry to hear that, I wouldn't know what to do in that situation as I still have some fear of confrontation.

I guess my best advice is to be assertive but calm.

@MarineBob I agree.

You are not the bad guy in this scenario. They are.
Give them hell until they do what's right!
