My question involves malpractice in the state of: Roanoke, VA.
I started seeing a Dr. for my back. He wanted to try carterizing some nerves and I agreed but first we had to do a "test" where he would shoot lidocaine around the disk to see if I got relief. When I returned for the next appointment, he said we had to do a 2nd test run due to my insurance. Third visit he proceed with the actual nerve carterization. Later I get a bill for 1500.00 because the 2nd test procedure was not covered by my insurance. The insurance company BCBS said that they did not require the 2nd test. Now the Dr. has sent it to collections. I have contacted several lawyers locally and each time am told "we don't handle cases like that". I am desperate for help and would be very grateful for any advise or guidance.
Thanks,
