Dr. Dalia Lorenzo, MD

I was recently hospitalized at Baptist Hospital in Kendall. I eventually had a pacemaker implanted. In the process of diagnosis, I was seen by Dr Dalia Lorenzo to check for neurological causes of my symptoms. As it turns out, Dr Lorenzo is not on my Florida Blue insurance plan. As a result, even though Florida Blue paid three different claims by the doctor, I was billed over $1,000 for her services. According to Florida Blue, they have no right to bill me over and above what they paid because I did not select this doctor. I call the office and was told that it is their policy (and right) to bill me for the difference of what my insurance policy paid and their bill. This is absolutely absurd! Are you supposed to stop every person that comes in your hospital room and check to make sure they are on your plan? I have no plans to pay this bill and will fight it as far as I have to. Buyer (or hospital patient) be ware!
