On 09/16/20, I had a telehealth consultation with Dr. Eric Zacharias. I explained to him I had to answer questions on my employer's health app before reporting to work and because I checked the headache and congestion boxes, the app told me not to report to work. I told Dr. Zacharias those sysmptoms were due to a sinus flare up that had started the previous day, but I needed a note clearing me to report to back to work. These symptoms were also given to an intaker during registration before my appointment. Dr. Zacharias coded my diagnosis as "headache - muscle tension, which is something he and I never discussed-nothing even similar. Therefore, he falsely coded my diagnosis. Everything was going well until I found out what Dr. Zacharias had done. I called and asked for the diagnosis and code to be changed but the customer service representative could only forward my message. Within 30 minutes a nurse called me back and said Dr. Zacharias said he couldn't change the code but would add a supplement saying I wanted him to add congestion to the diagnosis. After the call, I just couldn't accept what the nurse had told me. I therefore called again and spoke with another customer service representative and advised I was not accepting Dr. Zacharias's diagnosis and code because we never talked about that. This representative said she was escalating my message. When I received a call back from another nurse she said the diagnosis and code would be changed. Note: Make sure you register your account so you have access to view all your documents. The consultation document shows the diagnosis. The code is not there, but the nurse told me the diagnosis displayed was due to the the code the doctor used. I was able to view my documents as soon as my appointment was done.
