    Billing Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    A few weeks ago I went to the Medstar Urgent Care facility in Hanover, MD. I was seen for a suspected UTI and the visit took about 10 mins total (minus the hour it took for me to be seen by anyone). All I needed was a quick urinalysis which turned out to be negative, paid my co-pay and left. Today I received a bill in the mail for $250 (after insurance) for a level 3 office visit, a urinalysis, and a pregnancy test. No one ever asked me if there was a possibility of me being pregnant during my visit or else I would have said NO and completely avoided the $30 charge for the test. Why was I not informed that an unnecessary pregnancy test was done? Additionally, the complexity of my issue does not warrant a level 3 office visit charge. I came in for a suspected UTI which involves a low level of medical decision making as it is quite literally just a positive or negative urinalysis with no additional history or exam required. Why wasn't I billed for a level 2 office visit instead? I will never visit another Medstar Urgent Care facility again due to their predatory billing practices.

    I have a health insurance policy that is written out of state and there was some confusion about whether this Medstar PT location is in-network or out-of-network for. When attempting to sort out this issue, the administrative staff was extremely rude to me and not willing to work with me to get the issue cleared up. All they had to do was hop on a call with the ****** ****** **** ******'s provider line and member services line... a 3 way call that United wouldn't facilitate without the provider. MedStar PT in Dundalk refused. I've spent time getting this squared away on my end with ****** ****** **** ******. They spoke to MedStar PT in Dundalk in detail to assure them that I am in-network for their facility. They sent a letter confirming this. MedStar PT in Dundalk are refusing to see me because my policy was written out of state. I have Long Covid and I've been suffering for 8 months... this office is aware of this as I was working with them before my insurance switched from Aetna to United Healthcare. PT is a very important part of my recovery. I was informed that a provider can refuse to see a patient for any reason, even if their insurance is in network. The office manager here treated me like an idiot and was completely uncaring, even when I was pleading for assistance in getting the issue worked out because PT will help me recover. It was crazy
