Healthcare 65 Plus

Today, I want to help others who have become victims of unscrupulous Healthcare Providers.

The first tactic is usually very effective, and if it is not, you will then know if that entire system or group is unscrupulous.

1. You will find out who the head of that particular office is or who the Risk Manager is. Once you have secured this information ( usually the reception staff is willing to (provide this Information) . You will then proceed to contact your state agency of Professional Licensing. They will tell you how to file a complaint. Now for the important part. When writing a complaint, it is extremely important and necessary to be factual without emotions. You must give the following:

You must give the following:

The date you are writing a complaint.

Date the incident happened. 

Where the incident took place.

What the incident actually was.

Who perpetrated that incident?

The results of the said incident and what was stated by the provider when you brought the incident to their attention?

Any results of said incident you may have experienced? Was it emotional, was it physical, was it a frightful experience, did it cause you to lose faith in the provider’s abilities?

You must give the outcome you experienced.

Next, you will highly suggest that this professional should have their license suspended or revoked due to the possibility of severe and lasting damage. Now, for the important part. Ask for at least a peer review in addition. This may or may not work in some of the southern states with a “good ole boy” network like we have in Missouri. However, it gives you documentation. Let me just stop here and explain this network. In some states, like in the south, we have what is called a good ole boy network! That consists of localities such as large cities or regions. For example, in Missouri, we have the greater Kansas City area, and then there is the mid-Missouri area. This is true for healthcare and attorneys. I have documented evidence of both. What can you do about it? Nothing. It is how they have done things for decades, and that is that. However, once you take things to a federal level, it sort of levels the playing field for everyone. I will be telling you how to do that also.

They have to answer your complaint. Be sure to sign and give a phone number for any additional information that may be needed. Keep a record of all of that. You have two years to sue from the date of incident. I will tell you later what you can sue for.

This may not get that provider’s license revoked this time but it puts a nice dark stain on it, so if someone else should complain, they WILL lose their license. That is only the first step. There are a few more. Follow and I will tell you in sequence what to do to protect yourself and others from these shady practices. Keep following it gets interesting.
