Prasanthi Marella, MD

My pharmacy told me my doctor suddenly stopped approving my prescription. The doctor did this 10 months ago because I didn't have a visit in 2 years and charged me for a visit plus $635 of tests. I called the doctor's office and asked why this time. They said it has been a year and I can't have the mediation unless I come in for a paid doctor visit. I reminded them that the the state of PA is in a virtual lock down and there could be sick people there visiting the doctor. I also reminded them that it has NOT been a year since my last visit, plus previously I went two year. They checked and said my last visit was in May of 2019 (9.5 months ago) but they still wouldn't give me my medication unless I came in for a paid visit or did a paid visit on the phone. This is taking advantage of an epidemic for the sake of profit and putting people at risk, knowingly!
