doctor won't refund

[Brogan]

I over paid my doctor for an office visit and have a credit on the
books. How long can they keep this money? I have moved and switched
to another clinic.
Thanks,

Send a letter to the doctor asking for a refund. Set a time
limit, such as 10 business days, and send the letter with return
receipt and signature requested. If they do not give you the
refund, then sue the doctor and his clinic in small claims
court. If the amount is over some set number, usually $7500,
then you might have to sue in district court. In that case,
you either need an attorney, or one of the self-help books
from Nolo Press on how to sue someone.

How long ago did you ask for it? Have you asked in writing?

I strongly suspect the law is that they have to return it in a
reasonable time. Send them a letter, if you haven't already, and set
a specific but reasonable deadline, such as 10 business days. Then if
you don't get the money, file in small claims court.

I am not a lawyer; this is not legal advice. When you read anything
legal on the net, always verify it on your own, in light of your
particular circumstances. You may also need to consult a lawyer.
