  Complaint Type:

  Billing Issues

  Status:

  Resolved

  More info

  I received a bill from this location, in which I have not been here in over 1-2 years. They recently send a bill in the amount of $171.32. It has no explanation of service or what this is for. I had a issue with them in the past where they were trying to charge me for a office visit fee and a co-pay. I paid my co-pay & provided them my health insurance cards. I reached out to my health insurance to find out that the eye doctor was paid for that visit. It was such a hassle to get that issue situated and finally it was resolved. Now, 1-2 years later...here we go again. I would like to know what this is for? This is such a inconvenience for me always having to try and get this resolved and clear things up. The previous issues took over 2 weeks to get resolved. In my opinion this appears to be fraud on their end trying to collect from myself or my health insurance. This has got to stop. All I request is to stop and clear the issue.

  To whom it may concern: 
  Responding to patient's complaint, we have no record of previous dissatisfaction or concerns about previous co-payments, insurance inquiry or balance due on this patient's account. Patient has been seen in our office a total of four visits, 11/14/18, 12/3/18, 4/23/21 and 7/9/21. Patient has received a bill for date of service 7/9/21 due to "deductible" responsibility. Patient insurance coverage from 11/14/18 — 12/31/2020 was Anthem Blue Cross HMO. Patient's responsibility $40.00 office visit copayment with an approved authorization from medical group. As of January 1, 2021, patient's insurance coverage changed to Anthem Blue Cross PPO, with an annual deductible of $3000.00 and 30% coinsurance responsibility. Anthem Blue Cross PPO was billed, no payment received. Per Anthem Blue Cross, payment applied to member's deductible. 
  Patient is correct; it has taken over one year to receive a statement from our office, we apologize, but we had billing company difficulties last year. As of September of this year, we have transitioned to a new billing company. 
  We apologize for any inconvenience, but we are trying to collect payment for services rendered.
