Deliberately writing bills for services not performed is fraud. Of course there can be billing mistakes and corner cases where it is not clear what exactly has been performed. Excessive billing that goes beyond what insurance pay can motivate people to fight back...
There are so many things wrong in how the doctor behaved it is mind-boggling and a big red flag. Fighting angry and stupid people in court is best avoided but one does not always have a choice.

Unless the consumer's layers are equally skilled/powerful, usually the deeper pockets win, I hate to say. It's why the rich get richer while the rest get [bleeped]. It's one of the reasons Hillary was unlikely to be jailed for being sloppy with email; the laws are fuzzy enough to milk. But this applies to all plutocrats, not just Hillary, including the current occupants at Washington DC.
