  I had regular doctor's visit on 2/28/2024 at Village Medical which was a regular physical. In November of 2024, Village Medical sent me a bill for $612. I spoke to my insurance who stated that they paid Village Medical $200 of a $245 line item for the doctor's visit. Another weird charge of $206 was added for the same doctor's visit for no apparent and the insurance essentially stated that they only pay for one doctor's visit on a particular day and indicated this was a really unusual charge. Based on my research, it appears that Village Medical has been making a number of shady charges in the past 1-2 years which I believe related to the statement that *** ********* made to investors in a earnings call in June 2024. The statement is follows: "We believe in the future of these businesses [VillageMD, Summit Health and ******] and intend to remain an investor and partner, but as part of our persistent focus on value creation for ********* Boots Alliance, we are collaborating with leadership toward an endpoint to rapidly unlock liquidity, enhance optionality and position them for additional growth,"The reference to "unlock liquidity" appears to be in line with fact that VillageMD is using unethical means of extracting money out their patients. At first VillageMD denied that they had received the $200 from ************* (the insurance company) and wanted me to pay that amount as well. They have recently agreed to remove that amount from the bill.I told VillageMD that I was willing to pay for the remaining line items including the $45 remaining from the $245 line item but not the 2nd charge for physician's services of $206 for the same day. I refuse to pay for unethical charges and need VillageMD to reverse the $206 charge.Regards **** *******

  This complaint is in regards to an invoice I am receiving for DOS 8/2. This appointment was no different than my other monthly visits of the same kind. For some reason, I am being billed for this and it has been covered on other DOS before and After. I have contacted someone on 12/4, 12/16 and 12/29. Each time I am being told that this will be going to the escalting team and can take 5 business days. I never receive follow up communication and then I call and it starts the process all over again. I have received another email today regarding this past due amount. My EOB also states that I am not responsible for this. There is no way to speak to someone in the ************* as all calls go to someplace offshore. I would like this handled once and for all. If I am able to pull all my paperwork on this, so can your billing department.

  I received a call last week from billing located here in the states.  They have been working with my insurance company as well regarding this matter.  I was told that this may take a little time but it should all be resolved.  I do ***** the employees name and phone numberf to contact them.  If I start to receive emails and texts again about this DOS I will need to open up another complaint.  At this time, I am happy in the direction this is going.   I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.

  This complaint is about lack of communication, and organization and professionalism.I had a doctors appointment on November 7th,2024 in which Dr. ****** gave me days off, I needed to file a claim for work for those days off. I had dropped off the paper work Wednesday November 27th,2024, to nurse *******, and she was rude and dismissive and didnt seem like she wanted to help me. Later on they had told me she had lost those forms and never turned them in to Dr. ****** since he wasnt in clinic that day. I been waiting two weeks almost, because I need those forms by a certain deadline which has passed, and I will get terminated without those forms. When I walked in again on December 3rd,2024, to clear up where and who I gave the papers to, they lied saying they found them and gave them to Dr. ****** until I got another call saying they had no idea what I was talking about and couldnt find the paper work, and to resend them to another email. Since then Whenever I would call they would not answer the phone, just received the messages. Till this day I am still waiting and my claim has been denied until I get that paper in, otherwise Ill be terminated. The location of this village medical is ********************************** I was treated poorly by *******, and the problem is stemming from her attitude, which led to her loosing my papers.I only paid $25 for the actual visit, and havent paid again for the paper work yet.

  I have had prescription coverage for the FreeStyle Libre 3 GCM for about a year and the FreeStyle Libre 2 for several years prior. Recently, the *** in my small town has been unable to fill the prescription for my CGM, continuously canceling the order, stating that the item is backordered from ****** for about the last three months. As an alternative, I contacted my physician to change to either a FreeStyle Libre 3 Plus or a Dexcom G7. When I contacted Dr. ******** *************** office at Village Medical, I was told that Dr. ************* would be out of the country for the last three months of the year, and I would need to wait until she returned to change my prescription. This glucose monitor is crucial for tracking and managing my blood glucose. Further inquiries to ************************** elicited a response from Shineky Nicarol *********, advising me to either try a different pharmacy or do finger sticks until the sensors are back in stock. Upon inquiry to Elixir / Medimpact, I was told I would need a "prior authorization" form to get a DexCom G7 covered, which is the same response they provide to every question. Elixir / Medimpact further stated that I would need "prior authorization" for the FreeStyle Libre 3, which Medimpact had already been covering for me for at least a year. This highlights that the customer service at ********* is simply providing rote responses to inquiries. The pharmacists at CVS in **************, ** are completely unable to tell me when I will be able to get my CGM prescription filled, transfer my prescription to another CVS, or provide any information at all, and just keep canceling the prescription without explanation.

  I went to see Dr *** *** for my yearly physical. I asked her to add additional lab values to my bloodwork for my own knowledge. She agreed but when I got my results, she only added 1 of 3 that I requested. She then proceeded to bill me for 2 visits: one for my yearly physical and one for me asking to add extra lab values! I've been to Village Medical before for physicals and have never been charged an extra visit for requesting additional lab values. I was never told at my appointment that they would be charging me an extra visit for adding lab values. She charged me for a full established patient visit that lasts ***** minutes in addition to my yearly physical. So I was charged for 2 appointments in 1 visit! This is not warranted since she did not even do anything additional besides adding 1 lab value to my bloodwork order. That would take 1 minute at most. I spoke to many representatives from Village Medical and was told that the provider can bill for whatever they want and each provider is different. I was also told a supervisor would call me back but he never did. Judging by the other complaints on BBB, I'm not the only person who has complained about these shady billing practices with Village Medical. Does the BBB actually investigate companies? I'm only wanting to hear from Village Medical if they can delete the 2nd visit they charged for. Thank you!

  Hello, we have checked the patients account and based on the information that we have on file, one of our supervisor attempted to call the patient on 11/06/2024 in order to follow up the case about the date of service 09/05/2024, to let her know that based on the medical records that we have, the codes are correct and the charges were correct, however,the patient was unavailable sohe left a voice message to the patient with the information.

  I am rejecting this response because: No one from Village Medical left me a message on 11/6/24. If you call me from an unknown phone number and do not leave a message, how am I supposed to know who called? If a supervisor was calling me, they should have left a message, which they did not. The only person I've spoken to who seemed to understand my situation was ******, who I spoke to on 9/24/24. She said that her supervisor named ****** would call me back. He never did. I am being billed for 2 office visits when I only had 1 office visit. I was never told there would be additional charges outside of my yearly physical. If you look at other Better Business Bureau reviews, you'll see that many other patient have my same issue. It's unethical and fraudulent to bill patients for services not received.

  Village Medical On Aug. 5th I went to Village Medical located at ************************************************ for my yearly wellness visit. I was charged a wellness visit in the amount of $262 and a office visit in the amount of $292, When I asked for an explain this is what they said "we see that there were two topics discussed that generated the office visit, and those are herpes simplex, and gastroesophageal reflux disease." In fact, all I did was ask them to refill my prescription, there was not discussion. This what their explanation was " I realize how upsetting this must be, however this is a regular standard with yearly physical appointments. The physical itself only covers preventative issues and anything else discussed or tests that are ordered fall under a regular office visit. I wish I could make it better." I expect the office visit charge to be removed.

  I am a ******** recipient and have been seeing my provider at this clinic as my PCP for a little over 6 months now. I receive anxiety medication; ****** and ***** to keep my panic attacks at bay, as I have **************************** and panic disorder along with depression and a few other mental health issues. On one of my first visits, I was denied seeing the provider because office manager ****** could not verify that I had updated Dr. ***** as my PCP, however the insurance carrier had him clearly listed. I was told by the regional manager (male, cannot remember his name) that ****** would not have access to my medical record, and we agreed I'd still continue to go there and not file charges for the actions. On my visit last month, I was forced to pay a four dollar and some change copay before I could be seen. I did and contacted the billing office to rectify the issue and refund me. Not only did they not do that, but they have also billed me again, and because I refused to pay a fraudulent charge, they denied my visit again. I spent 5 hours on the phone with the office and my ins carrier, Village medical billing staff was so rude UHC had to end the call with them. Subsequently I also found out ****** is behind my not being seen again, and I was informed she has been accessing my records.

  Complaint: 22310108
  
  I am rejecting this response because: they were made aware of the issue prior to denying my visit, still even after speaking to regional director I was unable to check in or be seen which caused me to go into withdrawal from *****. Still today provider has not responded to email, balance still shows. Billing **** is rude, and disrespectful even when my insurance carrier called on my behalf with me on the line to get it sorted out. They were intentionally choosing these actions that are now resulting in patient abandonment, which is malpractice. The lack of genuine care even in their response shows how little they care putting a patient through withdrawal and abandoning their care. They are aware this could result in a lawsuit and still are choosing to be ****.
