I don't have any suggestions other than to get out your chequebook.

Actually, this is a common insurance scam in big cities. Get a car loaded with people, all claim injuries, real doctor does fake billing, people in car get big payout and they are never treated for their "injuries".
I'm not saying this is what happened in Rick's case, but this exact scam does exist.
