Decades

Under her brand of Decades Group she seriously overbilled my mom. Their promotional literature listed packages which suggested to me their billings were in the $200-$600 per month range, and that's why I approved signing my mom up with them. Instead, their billings ranged from $1800 - $4800 every two weeks - just for medical power of attorney work!. I would estimate their billings for a little over two years, mostly just for faxing medical records, at about $100,000-$150,000. My mom's trustee couldn't risk a lawsuit so these bills got paid. And since the paperwork nominated Decades for conservator it was pretty much impossible to fire them. So the nightmare continued until my mom moved into an assisted living facility - a move Decades opposed. My advice would be to not hire these guys. But if you do, put in writing how much they are authorized to bill and include a remedy if they exceed that amount. A criminal background check for staff and supervisors is probably a good idea too.
