    Complaint Type:
    Billing Issues
    Status:
    Unanswered
    My name is *********************, and I am writing to file a complaint regarding the lack of transparency from the California Skin Institute (CSI). I am trying to resolve a recent billing matter from CSI. On January 29, 2024, I received a bill totaling $163, which appears to be in relation to previous services rendered. However, I believe there may be an error. According to my records, on May 31, 2023, I settled my outstanding balance, so my tab should be closed. Since March 1, 2023, I have not received any services from CSI nor undergone any procedures. Therefore, I am puzzled by the appearance of a new bill almost a year later.I have made several attempts to contact CSI since I had paid off my outstanding balance (I have the ************************ from May 2023 for this interaction), and the numbers on my bill do not add up to the total amount they claim that I owe. Despite contacting the billing department via phone, my local CSI office, mailing the billing department, and submitting online requests throughout this year, I have not received not one response providing me with my answer to my inquiry. They just keep mailing me the same bill, despite raising that I have a receipt and written correspondence that my outstanding balance is paid off. They claim that patrons will receive a response 72 hours later if their billing department is contacted, however, it is now April, and I still have not heard anything. I am appalled at the lack of communication and transparency. Even if I do have to pay, I would like to pay with confidence, knowing what it is I have been charged for and why. I have made numerous good faith efforts to get such answers since January.(PS: Attached is the letter I mailed in Feb, which mirrors this response. I have since made more attempts to contact them via phone to no avail.)

    I cancelled an appointment via email 24 hours prior to the appointment. The Business sent an invoice for $75.00 for a "no show". This is not correct. I sent a copy of the email with my invoice. Nothing has been resolved as I am still getting an invoice requesting payment.

    This is the first time the office had heard from the patient in regard to cancelling the appointment. We have waived the fee now; the patient no longer has a balance of $75.00 and has been notified.
