Began physical therapy in February. I went on a payment plan once insurance had paid their portion. I stayed in therapy about a month too long per their recommendation. It became evident that I was not improving with their exercises. I sought a second opinion through an orthopedic surgeon and learned the treatment rendered was not effective and the length of time was too long. I spoke customer service and asked for concessions to be made for this situation. I was offered a 15% discount off of my $1855.00 bill, but also told that manager at a higher level would look at the bill. When I logged on to my bill on 06/24/24, it showed a balance of $12.50. So I thought a majority of my bill had been comped as a result of raising it up the ladder. However, on 06/26/24, I was billed for $167.50. I'm confused as I think I only owe $12.50. When I called in to ask about this, I was told by ***** that the $12.50 was a mistake and the system made an error, and I still owed $1687.50. However, they wanted to start the 15% off payment plan now that my balance was $1687.50. I had to talk to multiple people to even get the 15% off my old balance. I finally got in contact with someone who acknowledged this and attempted to adjust my account. The site then showed a balance of $445.75, which they said was also incorrect but that it would be correct in 48 hours. Checking again on 07/01/24, it is not. I was improperly diagnosed and treated by ATI and kept in therapy too long. Now I am being strung along, first believing my balance was comped and even then still unable to get an actual figure. The fact that I can't get in contact with anyone that knows how to have the system reflect what I actually owe shows a lack of transparency unbecoming of such a sensitive industry. I feel like this company keeps people in therapy to milk their insurance and run up debt, as well as keeping in me in therapy despite me saying I wasn't responding. After having dealt with all this, 15% is not enough.

Dear ******************,

This response is in reference to case #******** submitted on 7/1/24. A thorough review of your chart was conducted. The result of this process concluded that the services were provided in accordance with industry standards and the documentation supports the appropriateness of treatment in relation to your condition and the diagnosis on the MD script. Despite this, ATI offered a customer service discount. After review of the billing ledger, it was determined that the incorrect discount was applied to the account and that was corrected and is now accurate. Our records also indicate that you set up a monthly payment plan that starts at the end of the month. Finally, the screen shots that you provided show the total balance at the top of the picture. The amounts you describe in the complaint are payment amounts and not the balance.

ATI Physical Therapy continues its commitment to honesty,integrity, and upholding the highest standards of professional conduct. Please contact our Patient Advocate Team at 855-MY-ATIPT,option 2, with any additional concerns.

The complainant verified the issue was resolved to their satisfaction.
Summary: ATI owes me $80 for over payment that happened in May of 2023.*** refused to refund my money until my insurance company paid all claims. ATI submitted 3 of 20 claims with the wrong group number. After calls with ATI in October of 2023, March of 2024, April of 2024 and May of 2024, they still didn't resubmit the 3 questionable claims with the correct group number.In June of 2024 I resolved the claim issue with a 5-minute call with my insurance company.ATI now has been paid for all claims and agrees I'm owed $80 but will not credit the money back to my credit card until their back office investigates. I have no faith in their back office, since they could not resolve a simple group number error for over a year.The therapy was good. I would hate to see a good therapy company lose business because of an incompetent billing organization. I hope ATI reviews the details documented in the attached letter, does an investigation into the issue's systemic root cause, and implements robust corrective actions to become a better company in the future.

ATI UTILIZES DECEPTIVE PRACTICES TO GET PATIENTS INTO THEIR FACILITIES FOR SERVICES. I INITIALLY CALLED ATI SCHEDULING AT ************ AND ASKED FOR THE COST OF EACH PT SESSION. I WAS TOLD THAT THE FIRST VISIT WAS A LITTLE HIGHER BECAUSE OF EVALUATION. I WOULD THEN PAY $50 EACH TIME AND THE REST WOULD BE COVERED BY INSURANCE. THEY TOLD ME THAT IT WOULDNT BE MUCH MORE THAN $100 SINCE SELF PAY IS ONLY $113 FOR EACH SESSION. I AM BEING BILLED $293.00 FOR EACH SESSION THROUGH MY INSURANCE COMPANY AND THEY SAID I HAVE TO PAY IT AS IT IS GOING TO MY COPAY. THEY ARE GOUGING THE INSURANCE COMPANY AND LIED TO ME TO GET ME AS A PATIENT. I AM ONLY WILLING TO PAY THE $113 THAT I WAS TOLD WOULD BE THE MAX ****** FOR EACH VISIT WHICH WOULD BE THE SAME AS A SELF PAY PATIENT. I WOULD HIGHLY DISCOURAGE ANYONE FROM UTILIZING ATI!! I AM NOT ALONELOOK AT ALL THE COMPLAINTS FILED AGAINST THEM!!

Dear *************************,

This response is in reference to case #******** submitted on 6/5/24. A thorough review of your account was performed by our Director of Compliance and Audit. Our records indicate that you signed our Notice of Financial Responsibility which details potential deductible,co-payment, co-insurance cost, and/or limits placed on treatment from the insurance company. This notice states, Your insurance requires payment towards your deductible. We will take a payment towards that deductible each visit.Please understand that this is just a payment towards your deductible. Since we are contracted with your insurance plan, we are required to collect the full deductible amount that is applied to the services you received. ATI can only provide cost estimates for treatment at the start of care. Your insurance company must process and adjudicate a claim before the full cost of treatment is known. Additionally, the amount you mentioned in your complaint is the billed amount to your insurance. The patient responsibility in the form of a deductible, co-pay, and/or co-insurance are based off the allowable amount that the insurance pays for services and not the billed amount. Your Explanation of Benefits (EOB) from the insurance company will detail the allowable amount for the services provided.

Our Patient Advocate team recently contacted you to discuss your concerns. We kindly ask that you return that call to discuss your account.

Complaint: ********

I am rejecting this response because:
This is in response to complaint #********. ***********************, Director of Compliance and Auditing from ATI Physical Therapy responded to my complaint and said that their records indicate that I signed their Notice of Financial Responsibility. I am in the healthcare field and I totally understand that I signed their Notice of Financial Responsibility. I also understood what the notice stated...that my insurance requires payment towards my deductible and they are required to collect that deductible amount. That is not the problem or what I am protesting. Before I started therapy sessions at ***, I asked what the amount that I will be paying and what amount they will be charging for each session. They told me that each session would be billed no more than $113. and that I would have to pay $50 up front for each session and I may owe the rest until my deductible has been met. They told me that the amount would be no more than $113 since that is what a cash paying patient pays and since I have insurance, it may be a little less than that. This is what I was told by ATI. Why are they now billing me 3 times that amount since I have insurance. As I mentioned, ATI utilizes deceptive practices to get patients into their facilities for services.

One of ATI Patient Advocate Team Members, ******** from ******, IL left a message for me on my cell phone. I have tried calling back this ATI Patient Advocate Team member several times at ************. I have left 3 messages for her to date and have not received a call back. Very poor customer service.

This is extremely frustrating. As I mentioned, I am in the healthcare field and if I conducted business the way ATI is conducting their business by misleading patients, I would have been terminated a long time ago. It is just a shame that they are still in business. I have spoken with the physician who referred me to ATI. She said that she refers a number of patients to ATI and it is very disappointed in what has transpired.

I would like to reopen this complaint as the response that I received from ATI was not acceptable.

Thank you for your assistance.

Kind regards,

The complainant verified the issue was resolved to their satisfaction.
I was injured at the workplace in March of 2023 and sought treatment with ATI for my injuries, which I received and were of high quality. My complaint is not with the treatment providers, but with ATI's billing department and corporate contact policies.I am owed a refund for co-payments of services made under private insurance coverage during the time that my worker's comp claim that was pending. During the time period of pending worker's comp status, I visited ATI 8 times, paying a $40 co-pay on each service date. The worker's comp claim was approved in June or July of 2023. I have been in contact with ATI since September, 2023, pursuing my refund. At each call I am asked to call back in ***** days to allow for processing time. I call back minimally every ***** days.ATI continues to assert that there are 3 open claims and that they will not issue me a refund until those open claims are closed. Per my worker's comp insurer, all claims for services under my private insurance have since been run through worker's comp with the worker's comp insurer reporting "open claims" dates of service payments were completed in November 2023, providing check numbers and dates for payment. Billing has not been able to reconcile the status of those dates of service despite calls made by me to that department every 4-6 weeks. When I call for assistance from ATI billing representatives, I get the same request to "please continue to be patient with us" or "please bear with us". When I request other departments to speak with (such as claims) I am told those are internal communication only. Higher levels of management within billing give me the same response as initial representatives. When I ask for corporate contact information, I am redirected to the "number on the website" which, when dialed, puts me right back into the billing department phone tree.ATI Case I.D. number: ******** Dates of service: 4/25/23 (paid 11/15/23), 5/16/23 (paid 11/22/23), 6/2/23 (paid 11/22/23)

My neurosurgeon put in an order for physical therapy on my left shoulder on February 8th 2024. I was told by my PT therapist it was submitted by ATI to Comagine for approval on February 23rd, 2024. It is now nearly June 2024 and still nothing. I've had to repeatedly ask over and over again for time extensions on a previous PT order for my lower back because the time frame approved was only 3 weeks for 12 sessions which was not long enough and apparently whoever is responsible at ATI for submitting to L&I for approval and to their governing health authority comagine is not doing their job! For previous problems like this with great difficulty I was finally able to get through to what was called their escalation department and a woman named ******* @ **********. A few months ago with an earlier issue she called me back once told me she would investigate and call me the beginning of the following week and never did. This was about problems with the first lower back order and me being told contradictory information by several ATI representatives about whether it had been approved or not by L&I. She never called back then and I've left at least 5 to 7 voicemail messages for her since then and she has never called me back! How is one supposed to get these failures resolved if even their escalation department doesn't respond? At present it took my wonderful PT therapist who is very very busy with clients to have to take time out helping clients to do someone else's job in following up the submissions or the neglecting of submissions in order to help me get my sessions approved. The PT order for my left shoulder has still never been followed up on apparently by ATI's department responsible for submitting for approval to insurance! I want to make it clear that my PT therapists at the ******* location are all outstanding but ATIs back office is horrible to say the least!

Complaint: 21775003

I am rejecting this response because:
It really amounts to a non-response and not much of an apology really. I'd like to see a more sincere apology for totally dropping the ball on my shoulder PT order for for 5 months.
The department responsible for submitting for approval to comagin has still been incredibly difficult to deal with telling me that I have to have an evaluation of my shoulder before they can submit for approval to Comagine when last year that was never the case and obviously a client does not want to have to pay out of pocket for an evaluation visit when there's no guarantee that it will be approved by ********! Given the number of billing issue complaints on this website It's understandable why one would want approval before any visits to PT! It seems to me that the communication between that department and the lady ******* from the escalation department who has now been helping me has been erratic with her being told different things by different people.
I do want to amend my complaint about ******* as now she has been extremely helpful. Not sure why all those phone calls over the last few months were never returned but she has more than made up for it recently by bending over backwards to try and get this all straightened out.
I think The real problem is with the authorization department not paying attention enough to what orders that come in actually say and then really being proactive in helping the client get their approval request done so that they can either start or continue their therapy! In all honesty my impression of the back office handling of things is that it's disorganized lacking in good communication and not really motivated to do the best job possible. Obviously from the number of complaints on this BBB website there are systemic issues with ATIs handling of billing and back office issues!

Complaint: 21775003

I am rejecting this response because: this company's response is basically composed of what reads as pre-written wrote responses. Still do not feel like any meaningful apology was given for dropping the ball for 5 months on my PT shoulder order. As it stands right now I have an evaluation scheduled for next Tuesday and we'll see if after jumping through that hoop the *** approval department manages to get this submitted properly to comagine. I want to wait and see if they actually get this done before I close out this complaint. Both ******* in escalation and **** My therapist at the ************ branch in ******* have had to spend I don't even know how much time trying to get this done when it's not even their job. A rote response does not come across as heartfelt or that anyone really cares about improving the performance of the department responsible for submitting to various insurances for therapy approval. If the department responsible for submitting for approval to insurance gets it done this time and in a timely way since it's already been since February 23rd I've been waiting, then I will close out this complaint but a sincere apology would have been not only appropriate but appreciated.

After a year how has this bill of $738 suddenly arrived for a very low quality service for which the insurance has already paid $1681? ATI didnt adhere to law of No surprise act of billing and insurance. Patient is also protected under TDI ********** of insurance. I will also Complain to the Texas medical board.

Dear ************,

This response is in reference to case #******** submitted on 4/24/24. A thorough review of your account was performed by our Director of Compliance and Audit. A review of the payments that were performed show that a CHIP Read occurred at your first payment which indicates that you presented the card for the payment. The next two payments show that transactions were keyed which means the clinic manually performed the next two payments and the clinic would have asked for your permission to process the transaction. ATI only charged your card with your permission which has left an $80 balance on your account.

I have called the 800 phone number on at least 5 occasions, the last time was on 4/18/24 and I spoke to "****" - a supervisor. I spent over 2 hours on the phone with him, and on previous occasions with other agents. I have receipts for all of my 28 visits to ***. Each time I paid $5. Insurance paid too and ***s are attached. I'm attaching a sheet of how much I owe (the sum of the *** less the $5 paid on site), plus I paid an extra $2.90 at my last Dec. visit of 2023. They say I've only paid $137.90. The total that I owe adds up to $53.42. I'm willing to pay $58.42 as my time is not worth the $5. Yet, they won't take my payment. Believe it or not. Their accounting keeps coming up with even more that I owe but I do not owe more than this amount. My paperwork proves it. I could also attach every single receipt I got emailed to me from the onsite payments of $5 I made. I did send "****" the actual receipts of the ones he requested. But alas, I can't get them to take my payment. Calling the *********** is hugely frustrating. I'll be talking to one person then get transferred to another and have to start all over. I just want to pay my bill and get this over with. Thank you. (I'm also attaching screenshots from my credit card bills for several dates that they questioned I paid - as proof).
