    Access Family Care quotes me one price and had me pay in full at time of service and then sent a bill wanting more money for the service that was already paid in full. After calling and talking to them it appears that they raised the prices of the services after they were provided and then billed me. It was clearly stated that I was paid in full at the time of service- the service would not have been provided if it wasnt paid in full.

    We greatly appreciate the information, as we take pride in delivering high quality care with excellent customer service.  I am unable to disclose specific information about a patient or their specific care (due to federal privacy regulations).  I can assure you that we work very hard to ensure that all patients understand their bill, and that we thoroughly investigate every compliant or concern.  As required by the No Surprises Act, ACCESS Family Care sends Good Faith Estimates to patients with upcoming appointments. The good faith estimate (or GFE) is a notification that outlines an uninsured (or self-pay) individuals expected charges for a scheduled or requested item or service. Providers and facilities must give this estimate to an uninsured (or self-pay) individual (or their authorized representative) who requests it or who schedules an item or service.  I can also assure you that ACCESS Family Care has never raised the price of a service after it was provided.      There are instances in healthcare (both medical and dental) where services rendered are a little more or less than the cost estimate. ACCESS prides itself in communicating that information very well with patients and even offering payment plans when those are needed by the patient.

    I have been trying to get my teeth taken care of for almost 2yrs. They have taken and charged me for 2 sets of X-rays, I had an appointment tomorrow, but the dentist that I had been seeing is no longer there. So now they're saying that I will have to wait until he is accepted by the ****************** that I have. I have went twice before and nothing was done. They said my blood pressure was high. I don't know about anyone else but when your mouth hurts your blood pressure is up!!!

    *************** to the complaint that was submitted on 11/09/22, ID ********

     

    We greatly appreciate the information, as we take pride in delivering high quality care to all patients served by ACCESS Family Care.  I am unable to comment regarding any specific person, as patient information is protected by Federal privacy laws.  I can assure you that all patients are treated in a manner that is safe and of the highest quality.  Occasionally dental patients are rescheduled if their blood pressure is in a dangerous range, in order to ensure patient safety.  There are also occasions that a doctor leaves the practice or moves away, and sometimes results in a patient being disappointed due to the staffing change.  

     

    If you have any questions, you can contact me directly at *****************.

     

    Thank you,

    ***********************, Chief Quality Officer
