Radiologist allegedly threatens patients to cough up cash for rad reports
Tennessee-based radiologist Mark Winters closed the doors to his imaging facility, Digital Diagnostics, and allegedly threatened patients to pay extra money to “maintain” their imaging reports. If patients don’t pay, he said, they would be “turned over to collections.” He believes the $50 charges are legal.
Winters and his various businesses have filed for bankruptcy multiple times. He also has a lien against him for almost $1 million, according to reporting by WSMV-TV in Nashville. The Better Business Bureau has received seven complaints about the company and has asked patients to not pay Winters’ additional fee.
