Dr. Michael Papagikos, MD

Let me start by saying that Dr. Papagikos is an excellent doctor and I do not think that I could have been in better hands. However, my rating is for his office staff and for the billing department, or at least the way that they do their billing/coding. I am being told, since they are considered part of the hospital, that they are forced to bill appointments as follow ups, not doctor's visits. So, my deductible has to apply, not my co-pay. So, I should pay more because of the way THEY chose to set up their system??? Unfortunately, I will be transferring to a different doctor/facility so that I don't have to pay twice as much to visit the doctor. Dr. Papagikos....thanks for all that you have done, you are an excellent doctor!!!!
