Never assume anything is the norm in medical. We need to be our best and only advocate for getting good care. Now, I call out every doctor who does not write correct notes in his or her summary of my visit. I’m never allowing it to happen again. I think it puts that doctor on alert as to how you follow your health.
The big part is, it’s wrong and I have to think illegal too.
If you read something that never happened you call, leave a message to speak only to the doctor and state I read major discrepancies in his or her notes. Trust me they call. You can also go to a department head to file a complaint and also patient advocacy.

I used to work in a major hospital, ICU, and ER and I * very much * recommend becoming familiar with the Patient Advocacy Department as soon as you begin care anywhere. Take whatever contact cards and information packets they offer.

It is indeed illegal. It's called insurance fraud if they bill for something they never did. I've had several drs. that did that, and it infuriates me.
