 [ Symptoms ] i am doing insemination to get pregnant when should i do the insemination im getting two donations during my cycle [ Disease ] according to robert goldberg phd author of tabloid medicine how the internet is being used to hijack medical science for fear and profit and co founder of the center for medicine in the public interest the principle reason that people are charged is that hospitals want to avoid the appearance of wrong doing and reduce the threat of having a law suit if you do not charge for the mistake then you are admitting you made the mistake and the patient can go on to sue for damages  if you have suffered a medical error and were asked to pay for treatment that you did not need take action many patients although incensed pay charges without question according to goldberg often times the simple act of speaking up is enough to get the hospital to drop the charges in this particular case the first line of response is i am not paying for it  goldberg says contact your state is department of insurance to see if you live in a state that currently prohibits hospitals from charging patients for care to correct a medical error a number of states currently do you can also file a complaint with your state is department of health if you are covered by medicare you can file a complaint by phone at 800 medicare if you have insurance there is a good chance you would look to receive coverage for any treatment you need if your insurer has not already raised a red flag when the claim for the unnecessary care came through for payment contact the company and explain the situation if all else fails contact an attorney to help you negotiate with the doctor or hospital a resolution can likely be reached with discussions if not you always have the option to sue
