Aggrieved patients and customers of Birmingham Radiological Group doctors have had enough. Some have been fortunate and only have billing issues or report customer service annoyances but other others (such as myself - SEE VIDEO), were left with bills for thousands of dollars alongside erroneous (potentially life-endangering) professional medical opinions. I had 3 BRG MD's of this organization (Julian Patrick Druhan MD, Angus Baird MD & Donald Shane Kelly MD) miss a head trauma based broken skull injury in 4 scans I had done in 2018-2019 that will cost over $1,000,000 (one million USD) to treat. <br /><br />In a September, 2025 complaint with the Better Business Bureau, a patient mentions BRG billing issues that arose after a mri/ CT scan. As I reported in a video earlier in 2025, the company has adopted an aggressive policy of sending outstanding bills to collections after only 30 days. The patient reports their credit was ruined as well as receiving and "harassment calls from the local debt company as well as from their company". "I've called and left over 10 messages to Birmingham Radiological Group and they refuse to contact me regarding this matter". <br /><br />Despite, BRG's eagerness to recoup perceived debts, they did not respond to the customer / patient for 21 days. The response, shared with a 3rd party (BBB) contains many personal health information details that appear to be in violation of guidelines regarding sharing medical / health information related to HIPAA. Later in the video I share my own BBB complaint with BRG from 2021 where they also included my personal health information in an accusatory word salad response WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. <br /><br />BRG has worked in the past with American Health Imaging & Scott W. Arant who were forced into a Federal settlement worth 5 million dollars in 2024 because of their alleged dealings offering kickbacks. <br /><br />The Ascension / UAB / St. Vincent's health system is at the center of what may be the largest medical corruption case in U.S. history. They have empowered doctors, hospitals and partners with authority and privileges (and million dollar salaries) to operate that should not even be allowed to push a mop or broom in a professional medical setting or around those seeking medical treatment. <br /><br />Birmingham, Alabama is no stranger to medical scandal, having played host to the Healthsouth debacle nearly 20 years ago but a far greater one is gathering strength, it involves patients being dumped, not receiving service (even-after paying), medical fraud, purposeful misdiagnosis and non-accountabilty after the fact. Radiology is a major chokepoint in local corruption. I share my experience as a patient dealing with 50+ doctor organization: Birmingham Radiological Group. <br /><br />#birminghamradiologicalgroup #hipaa #bbb #uab #ascension #ahi #americanhealthimaging #phantombilling #balancebilling
