...invoiced for thousands...

"This man reached out to his doctor, week after week, each time invoiced for thousands and thousands of dollars in sum."

What does this "invoice" mean here? pay? I thought that it should be "Doctor invoiced the patient." not "Patient invoiced the doctor". How do you say it in America?

Dictionary.com says
verb Send an bill to; "She invoiced the company for her expenses"

so it means "pay the bill"??
