Patient Reviews
Jul 20, 2022
Dr Shafa's office, and Georgetown, look to game the system with insurance reimbursements to turn regular/ preventative colonoscopies (which patients often have less or no financial responsibility for under their insurance plan) into claims that require significant out of pocket spending by the patient. In my case they identified a minor complaint I was having during my intake and coded it to get this level of reimbursement. I find this shady and a disincentive to be open with my provider let alone seek such preventative care in the first place.
