I’m writing to you today because my insurance does not cover the $119.00 charge from the Greater Dallas Radiology Assoc because of the missing doctor referral. In Jan 8,2016 I had a checkup with the doctor. However, the doctor told me that I need to do a mammogram. Four weeks later, a nurse from the doctor call me and given me the name of the of the doctor and the hospital for setting up the appointment. At the time, I did not know that I need a doctor referral so I did not ask for it, and the nurse did not give me the doctor referral. Please review the claim again so that I don’t have to pay the $119.00.

    Missing Hospital Case Study

    The relationship between the staff at Missing Hospital and philanthropists in other countries is very secretive and deceitful; as the Missing Hospital fails to use the funding they received appropriately. For example, after Matron receives a call from Eli Harris of the Baptist congregation in Houston, a philanthropist, Matron tells him they have lost a staff member and will be a few days before she can talk with him and hangs up. Soon later, it is said that the financial support given by Eli Harris’s church to fund a program to check on the citywide campaign against gonorrhea and syphilis was never created at the Missing Hospital. Later Matron worries about the support needed to continue its ministry, as she believes that the hospital’s benefactors are likely to believe the hospital is unproductive and failing to own up to their promises.…
