I think you should assume incompetence instead of malice. > Fathollahi, the Manhattan Specialty Care physician, didn't answer our questions about the bill. Neither did Dr. Shawn Khodadadian, listed in state records as the CEO of Manhattan Gastroenterology. Because they CAN'T. Why didn't NPR publish their response, which is likely along the lines of how they are forbidden to discuss patient charges and procedures? It's far more likely this was a mistake that will end up costing the doctor 25k when the insurance company hires someone who checks for things like this, which they will.
