BORIS CHERNOBILSKY , MD (License No: 238669) I was charged (paid)twice for the same day appointment but still getting bills from same practitioner Brooklyn, New York

I was in the practitioner's office and at the time of appointment i did pay a $5.00 co payment but no receipt was given for amount paid. I was told that they do not have a payment receipt book available and after collection of 5X $1.00 payment they let me go in to see a doctor. I did observe that prior to me taken in to a doctor's exam room a secretary did not let anyone who did not pay deductibles or prepaid appointment see a physician. Some time after that day co payment was made  i did get a first demand/ collection letter for $5.00 co payment.

The office representative statement was  that they have no records of my payment and they can not find any records of the fact that it was a condition that the office did not have a payment receipt book available. I was not accused in a making false statement in order not to pay $5.00 copay but she  strongly suggest me to come over to pay again in order to avoid a collection actions. i decide not to argue with them and not spending money for round trip to the office and send them a check (Check # 103------10/22/12----acct #750771)by mail for amount demanded.

I did verify with my financial institution a clearance of he fund in order to be sure that i do not have any delinquency on my behalf. Anyway after that check was cleared by my bank and  fund was transferred to doctor's account  i still get collection letters for the same amount of money  i paid and all phone calls in regards to that issue has no result. I do assume that a physician has no control over his employee's conduct and has a luck of supervision of his collection practice. In regards to a communication practice - there is always that they put you on hold or asking you to call back in half an hour because a secretary or responsible person  is either on seek day, lunch time or announced to be in restrum
