  The Imaging Associates of Indiana repeatedly gave me false information about how my bill was being handled, repeatedly purposefully neglected to run the bill through insurance, instead trying to force me to pay them out of pocket. They then sent the bill to a debt collector without using the proper channels.

  I received a bill for services by this provider of which I have never used. All medical services will be only authorized through my primary physician and processed with insurance. My statement says services performed on 11/1/23 yet the bill references work done at St. ******* on 3/06/23. There is no reason for them to be accessing any services from 8 months ago and charge me ******. There was no authorization of me to allow them to perform any medical evaluation of my health.

  I am rejecting this response because: I am receiving a bill from your company for ****** on services I didnt have done at your company.  I have a text message linking to a bill for your company "Imaging Associates of Indiana" for ****** yet I have never authorized any work by your company.  The bill references an office visit from 03/06/23 at St ******* of which there was to approval for you to take on my account.  I called St. ******* and they could not find any reason why I am receiving a bill from your company.  I had imaging done there and they said no further work needed.  So why am I getting a bill from your company saying work was done on 11/1/23 following up on the 3/6/23 visit at St. *******?  I called your company and ***** could answer this question or at St ******* so this looks like fraud to me.  In addition, every legitimate bill should have been ran and paid through my insurance.  
  
  Sincerely,

  A chest xray was done at ************************** in Washington, IN on April 25, 2023. The hospital sent the x-ray to be read to Imaging Associates of Indiana. I have no insurance. The bill I received was for $162 and says to call company for payment and discounts available. I first called on5/23/23 and they reported I could get a self-pay discount for not having insurance. They requested I pay $121.50. I sent a check. The company says to call back in 7 days to check and make sure the $40.50 was taken off. I called 5/30 said my check had not cleared yet but yes the amount was recorded to be subtracted, call back. Called 6/12/23 check cleared and yes was to get discount but I received a bill request to call back again in 7 days to verify. Called back 6/22/23 "***"assures me the $40.50 discount is to be taken off (I am still receiving bills and text saying I owe the amount). He assures me this time is different and guarantees it is being taken off as promised BUT call back to verify. Since that last call I have received a paper bill and two text saying I still owe $40.50. Each call was supposed to be "recorded" and each person on every call assured me my sell pay discount is $40.50 and my payment of $121.50 had cleared. No payment needed BUT cont to call back and verify it was taken care of. Please help as this is rediculous for a company to say a self pay patient has a discount and fees are paid on my end yet they keep giving me the run around.

  I have tried to resolve a billing issue for my father ********************* with Imaging Associates of Indiana (IAOI) since 1/24/22. Four claims for 12/7/21, 3/28/22, 6/7/22 and 10/4/22 were submitted to his AARP supplemental insurance but was not submitted to ******** first which has been his primary insurance since 2012. IAOI prior to the 12/7/21 claim, had billed ******** for years with no issues and had his correct ******** number. I have spoken to the escalation department on 20+ times taking over only after my father tried for 9 months with no resolution. I was told on 12/20/22 that the claims for 12/7/21 and 10/4/22 were "written off" but no one can explain reason and why the other two claims still remain. I have no proof that the two claims were actually closed, only a verbal. I have spoke to *****, ******, ****, ******* and **** in escalation **** since I took over from father since 10/31/22 and keep getting told the same thing - the claims were submitted but keep getting kicked out of system. I as told on 12/20/22 they were submitted agin electronically and to call back on 12/27/22 to confirm. I called back on 12/29/22 and was told that they did not go through on 12/20 and resubmitted again on 12/28/22.Any assistance would be greatly appreciated and this company should be held accountable for their inability to submit a claim properly and continue to bill an 85 year old for something he should have no balance to pay.

  My name is *****************************. I am the parent of a MINOR child turned over to collections by them. I received a collection notice from ******************************************* on 3/4/2022 in the name of my child, ***********************, who just got off the elementary school bus. BCBS informed me Imaging Assoc of IN filed a claim to the insurance (BCBS) listing ********************* as the recipient of services. ********************* was NOT the recipient of services. The recepient of services is our MINOR child, *********************** on May 19, 2021. This is why their claim has been denied...they messed up!!! And have continued to mess up and create a huge mess for a MINOR!!! I spent *********************** a 3 way call with BCBS and ******* with your organization. Reference #*******.I have never received an invoice from them....ever. I was assured they company would promptly contact ******************************************* and remove the collection all together....as it is your company's error to begin with and secondly...you can't legally send a MINOR to collections. I was told I would promptly receive an email confirmation that this has been handled by your company. I am awaiting this email. It has not been received.During the 3 way call, their employee was provided information by BSBS. They were informed to fix their error on whom the correct patient was and who carries the insurance for the minor child, submit proof of a timely claim with BSBS, given the ** and group number and the claim mailing address. A phone number for BSBS was also provided. Again, this should all be in notes under reference number ******* by your employee *******.I need PROOF they have removed my MINOR child from collections for their own billing error. I completed an online help ticket, was emailed ticket #****** and I would have a response in 3-5 business days. It has exceeded the 5 business days. I need help. This company made an error and turned a minor over to collections and are not not honoring what I have been told to resolve. I need help.
