THE PROBLEM
For many years, vascular patients have been treated for a rare condition they likely don’t have. Patients make appointments for unrelated venous concerns and are wrongfully diagnosed with this disease. Often, their insurance provider doesn’t require preauthorization, making it possible to schedule them and bill for multiple invasive procedures over the course of many appointments. These include intravascular ultrasounds, stenting, radiofrequency ablation, or sclerotherapy in addition to multiple standard ultrasounds. This unnecessary treatment has left many with severe injuries and billings up to over $60,000. Yet most of them don’t realize they are victims of medical malpractice!
A VICTIM’S STORY
One former patient was diagnosed with this disease at an appointment she made for spider vein treatments. As a result, she was scheduled for many unnecessary invasive procedures that totaled over $50,000 in bills. Worst of all, the treatment left her with physical challenges she didn't have before.
Wrongful diagnosis can have serious consequences. These victims are often left physically harmed and feeling ashamed. Yet it’s never their fault, and they deserve justice!
