That is nasty and painful. It sounds like the right decision to go elsewhere. I find his responses about the miscoding suspicious, too, especially since he had a chance to correct it but didn't. And it directly affected your access to your ACTUAL therapy. 15 minute meetings are not therapy. And, I highly doubt that if he were using the correct coding, the going rate would be 125 for 15 minutes. That sounds like 30 minutes to me, at least. 125 for 15 minutes is what, 500 per hour? Give me a break.
I am sorry you had to have this experience. Ethically, by the way, he should provide you with several names of colleagues who do work with your insurance company.
